EU Country Importing Cheap Russian Veggies Despite Sanctions — Media
Poland continues to import Russian vegetables despite wide-ranging EU sanctions against Moscow, Berliner Zeitung reported this week.
According to the newspaper, dozens of trucks are constantly arriving at the wholesale market in the Polish town of Bronisze on the outskirts of Warsaw, loaded with Russian cucumbers and tomatoes. The outlet noted that the cucumbers are priced at 55 zloty ($12.48) for 5 kilos, well below the cost of EU-produced vegetables.
Vegetables have become increasingly expensive in recent months, with local farmers needing help to meet higher energy costs to power their greenhouses. Official statistics show that annual inflation in Poland accelerated in February to 18.4%, the highest since 1996 and one of the highest levels in the EU, with food prices and energy costs rising faster.
