International Shipping to Albania
The Albanian population is considered a very
young population, with an average age of 28.9 years. After 1990 the
Albanian population has faced new phenomena like migration, which
greatly affected the distribution by districts and prefectures.
Districts in the North have seen a decreasing population, while
Tirana and Durrës districts have increased their population, due to
internal immigration.
Albania's population was 3,152,600 on 1 January 2007 and 3,170,048
on 1 January 2008.[67] Alternative sources estimate the population
in July 2009 at 3,639,453 with an annual growth rate of 0.546%.
Albania is a largely ethnically homogeneous country with only small
minorities. The vast majority of the population is ethnically
Albanian. The exact size of ethnic minorities is not known, while
the last census that contained ethnographic data was held in 1989.
According to the latest news, the next census containing
ethnographic data will begin in April 2011 with EU counsels
assisting in certain fields. The pilot census is already being
conducted, while the official one will being on April 2, 2011.
Minorities include Greeks, Vlachs, Macedonians, Serbs, Bulgarians,
Balkan Egyptians, and Roma). The size of the Greek minority is
contentious, with the Albanian government claiming it is only
60,000, while the Greek government is claiming 300,000. Most Western
sources put the size of the Greek minority at around 200,000, or ~6%
of the population, while the CIA Fact book estimates the Greek
minority at 3% of the total population and the US State Department
uses 1.17% for Greeks and 0.23% for other minorities. A 2003 survey
conducted by Greek scholars estimate the size of the Greek minority
at around 60.000.

Albania remains a poor country by Western
European standards. Its GDP per capita (expressed in PPS—Purchasing
Power Standards) stood at 26 percent of the EU average in 2010.
Still, Albania has shown potential for economic growth, as more and
more businesses relocate there and consumer goods are becoming
available from emerging market traders as part of the current
massive global cost-cutting exercise. Albania and Cyprus are the
only countries in Europe that recorded economic growth in the first
quarter of 2009. In its latest report, the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) said Albania and Cyprus recorded increases of 0.4% and
0.3%, respectively. There are signs of increasing investments, and
power cuts are reduced to the extent that Albania is now exporting
energy.

Albania and Croatia have discussed the possibility of jointly
building a nuclear power plant at Lake Shkoder, close to the border
with Montenegro, a plan that has gathered criticism from the latter
due to seismicity in the area. In addition, there is some doubt
whether Albania would be able to finance a project of such a scale
with a total national budget of less than $ 5 billion. However, in
February 2009 Italian company Enel announced plans to build an 800
MW coal-fired power plant in Albania, to diversify electricity
sources. Nearly 100% of the electricity is generated by ageing
hydroelectric power plants, which are becoming more ineffective due
to increasing droughts.
The country has some deposits of petroleum and natural gas, but
produces only 6,425 barrels of oil per day. Natural gas production,
estimated at about 30 million cubic meters, is sufficient to meet
consumer demands. Other natural resources include coal, bauxite,
copper and iron ore.
Agriculture is the most significant sector, employing some 58% of
the labor force and generating about 21% of GDP. Albania produces
significant amounts of wheat, corn, tobacco, figs (13th largest
producer in the world) and olives.
