According to Polish Agriculture Minister Robert Telius, the increased supply of these berries leads to instability on the domestic market and creates difficulties for local producers.
Telius explained that in 2022 and in the first months of 2023, imports of Ukrainian strawberries and frozen raspberries to Poland increased significantly. This led to great difficulties for Polish producers and very serious market disruption.
“Poland has decided to ask European Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis to include frozen raspberries and strawberries in the so-called preventive measures, i.e. import bans from Ukraine,” the minister said, as quoted by the Polish Press Agency.
According to the agency, the Polish side will send a letter to the EC “in the near future”.
