Increase in prices because of drought

The Polish Press Agency (PAP) asked the Minister for Agriculture Marek Sawicki on the topic of increase in food prices on account of the drought that Poland experiences lately. Generally the rise in prices is not anticipated to exceed 5 percent. "Due to the drought higher prices should be expected. However it will not be a drastic increase as Poland functions on an open European and world market and the insufficiencies will be replaced by imports" the Minister tells. The exact data on agricultural loss will be published on July 15th.
