The Association of Gardeners of the Republic of Poland has appealed to the Minister of Agriculture Robert Telusz with a request to take urgent measures to stop the import of strawberries from Ukraine, to limit it and subsequently stop it completely, reported the Polish edition sad24.pl.
“In connection with the information that has appeared in recent days about the import of large quantities of industrial strawberries from Ukraine to Poland, we asked the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development to intervene and take urgent measures to stop the possible practice and its reduction – permanently stopped,” the publication quoted the website of the Association.
Polish gardeners insist on preventing a situation on the market similar to that of Ukrainian grains, when uncontrolled imports collapsed the market and caused a huge drop in prices.
The Association of Polish Gardeners insists on the introduction of a system of official quality control of each batch of fruit arriving in the country, especially for residues of plant protection products, and to suspend further trade of goods until the results of the examination.
