Albania produces significant amounts of fruits (apples, [[olive]]s, grapes, oranges, lemons, [[apricot]]s, [[peach]]es, [[Cherry|cherries]], [[figs]], [[Prunus cerasus|sour cherries]], [[plum]]s, and [[Strawberry|strawberries]]), [[Vegetable oil|vegetables]] (potatoes, tomatoes, [[maize]], onions, and wheat), [[sugar beet]]s, tobacco, meat, [[honey]], [[dairy product]]s, traditional medicine and [[Essential oil|aromatic plants]]. Further, the country is a worldwide significant producer of [[salvia]], [[rosemary]] and [[Gentiana lutea|yellow gentian]].<ref>{{cite web|author1=Dhimitër Doka|title=Albaniens vergessener Exportschlager|url=https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/web/kosmos-humboldtianer-im-fokus-91-4.html|website=humboldt-foundation.de|access-date=10 May 2016|language=de|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201082108/https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/web/kosmos-humboldtianer-im-fokus-91-4.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The country's proximity to the [[Ionian Sea]] and the [[Adriatic Sea]] give the underdeveloped fishing industry great potential. The [[World Bank]] and [[European Community]] economists report that, Albania's fishing industry has good potential to generate export earnings because prices in the nearby Greek and Italian markets are many times higher than those in the Albanian market. The fish available off the coasts of the country are [[carp]], [[trout]], [[sea bream]], [[mussel]]s and [[crustacean]]s.

Albania has one of Europe's longest histories of [[viticulture]].<ref name="winealbania1">[http://www.winealbania.com winealbania.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110208101841/http://winealbania.com/ |date=8 February 2011}} Wine Albania Portal</ref> Today's region was one of the few places where vine was naturally grown during the ice age.
