Abstract
The study of aromatic and medicinal plants represents great economic and practical interest. Therefore, it is the subject of study by many authors with agronomic, technological, biological, botanical, chemical and biochemical, medical, and pharmaceutical specializations. Many of these plants have been included in national, regional, and wider projects. A special subgroup of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants is the plants used for spices. In our country, spices are widespread and widely used in cooking and in flavoring many foods, beverages, and environments. Edible spices are an important part of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants.
In recent years, they constitute a plant subgroup that is taking on other characteristics, dimensions, and greater importance. A completely special case is the export of fresh spices. This is the reason why the study of fresh spice plants was undertaken and studied in one of the typical companies cultivating fresh spices.
The company “ELITE.A.E.” in Tirana, near Rinas airport, has been working for over thirty years, cultivating and exporting fresh spices to several European countries. The export of spices is an opportunity for the presentation of Albanian products in Europe and a source of income from exports. This company exports fresh spices to several countries: Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Austria, and Croatia. The herbs that are exported are: Mint, Basil, Sage, Rosemary, Dill, Parsley, and Coriander.
