"The situation in Russia will be smoothed out soon, we will not have a problem with the gas in the winter," added Ms. Voultepsi. Deputy Minister for Rural Development, Paris Koukoulopoulos was emphatic that producers "we will not bear the price” for this situation.
Meanwhile, an emergency meeting of Imathias, Pieria, Pella, Kozani and Florina exporters , on the Russian embargo will be held at 5 pm on Monday, while produce laden trucks are heading back from the border, since Russia stopped absorbing the agricultural products.
