Bad harvest can ruin Ukraine’s plans on sweet cherry exports to Russia

Written by

Ukrainian producers plan to increase significantly their export sales to the Russian market in this season. At the same time, market participants doubt implementation of these plans. Many think that farmers will have a problem with batching of sweet cherry export lots. The fact is that, according to estimates of producers, sweet cherry yields in this season will be lower than expected earlier. Due to long period of cold weather, the pollination process was badly affected that resulted in higher number of barren flowers. This is also a reason of the quality of sweet cherries able to be worse in this season that can have a negative impact on sweet cherry exports.

Russia Bans Import of EU Vegetables

Written by

Russia has banned the import of all fresh vegetables from the European Union because of the E. coli outbreak centered on Germany. More than 1,500 people have been infected by the deadly enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). The total value of EU exports of fresh vegetables to Russia was 600m euros a year, a quarter of the total exported. Spain, France, Germany and Poland are the biggest exporters.The country’s chief medical officer and head of Consumer protection agency Gennady Onishchenko said EU-produced vegetables would be seized across Russia. He criticized food safety standards in the EU. “This shows that Europe’s lauded health legislation – one which Russia is being urged to adopt – does not work,” he said.
