Mostly trucks with Ukrainian numbers can be seen in Starodubsky district.
A local carrier told Bryansk News: “For several months there were difficulties with phytosanitary certificates, but then everything was resolved, and now our potatoes flowed to Ukraine. Moreover, Ukrainian truckers take it themselves. ”
However, this is just explainable: Russian men are banned from entering Ukraine. As for potatoes, the old buyer is only at hand for the old-Danube farmers.
The fact that Ukraine after the Maidan has become increasingly dependent on imports of agricultural and food products, at the end of last year, said the head of the Union of Ukrainian Villages, former president of the Association of Farmers Ivan Tomich. According to him, the country is forced to import potatoes even from Africa, which he called a disgrace.
In early December, Ukrainian media reported that potato imports increased 700 times in the country from July to November 2019. Then it became known that the tubers were imported not only from Azerbaijan, Egypt and China, but also from Russia.
