russian agrofood ban

Russia remains the EU's second most important food export market after the U.S.A. In 2012, the value of food and drinks exported from the EU to Russia was close to € 9 billion. Russia is in fact the No. 1 export market for some EU Member States. A large part of the EU food and drink exports to Russia come from Germany, the Netherlands, France and Poland, which means these countries are likely to be more affected
