Dutch Growers Feel The Bite Of Sanctions Against Russia

The market gardeners' association LTO Glaskracht said on Wednesday that Dutch growers are already feeling the bite of sanctions against Russia.

Association chairman Nico van Ruiten told Radio 1 that growers are afraid to export their fresh produce and the prices are already falling. Bell peppers and tomatoes now fetch just 5 euro cents a kilo.

The problem began last week with a ban on the import of fruit and vegetables from Poland on the basis of 'food safety'.
