USA could say ‘yes’ to Polish fruits - experts

Polish and American experts agree that there is still place for Polish fruits and vegetables on American tables. However, they underline that we should not expect exports to increase day by day. Polish fruits and vegetables suffering the most from the Russian embargo, including Polish apples, will be the subject of Polish-American disputes concerning increase in exports of those goods. However, this should be a long process, for the American market defends itself against EU fruits, Damian Wnukowski, an analyst from the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) told IAR. Tony Housh, member of the board of the American Chamber of Commerce, underlines that before the American market will be open for Polish fruits and vegetables, experts and politicians should negotiate the terms and conditions of such complex operation. The agreement between the EU and the USA on Polish fruits and vegetables should be achieved end of December 2015. Tony Housh points out that currently Poland is allowed to export to the USA broccoli and red pepper.
