Russia bans food import

For a week now, Russian officials have been preparing its own sanctions on the West, following economical bans the EU ans the US imposed on Moscow.

 

Russia’s sanctions had been announced: Putin has banned most food imports coming from the West.

 

The country imports around 43% of the food it consumes.

 

However, many see the ban as an opportunity for local producers to sell more in their own country.

 

People will eat at a discount. It is just that the producers won’t get the income they have had. That is the only problem. The producers will be hit. But the people in the cities will eat cheap fruit,’ said an Athens fruits salesman.

 

Russia’s ban is set to last for one year and it prohibits all imports of meat, fish, dairy, fruit and vegetables coming from the US, Canada, Australia, the 28 European Union countries and Norway.
