Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Which foods are
off Russian menus?
As you know, the Western
countries imposed severe economic sanctions against Russia after the Crimea
incident and MH17 shoot down. Although the population of Russia is the ninth
largest in the world, their import of food and agricultural products marks the
fifth, according to the data from the European Commission. So what’s going on
to Russia’s food supply that is heavily dependent on the western countries
especially the EU?
Food supply and
prices is the single most important and critical issue when it comes to ruling
people. People don’t easily accept shortages or price-hike of their essential day-to-day
food unless they have any other choice. Therefore, rulers have always been trying
to guarantee the supply and prices of main food products, such as pork in
China, rice in Japan, or bread in Egypt.
So what will the
absolute leader of Russia do to deal with the recent economic sanctions? Also,
what will the farmers and producers of banned food do in the EU and other
western countries?
Enjoy reading and
learning the impact of economic sanctions against Russia.
