Sure, buddy... Luka and his potatoes will save us!

BY is not even in top10 for vegetables imports last year ( including grain ).

RU will be much harder to replace tho. Switch away from rapeseed perhaps.

You don't even have beef in supermarkets anymore. Mate, you kidding or what? And again, inflation is a good indicator.

What does beef has to with this now? The fuss is about grain primarily. Havent read the article, have you? At this rate, you will soon argue that the country is not 100% self sufficient in gummy bear production. And don't worry there is plenty of beef on the store shelves.

LV annual inflation rate currently sits comfortably below EU average, a fact of which you are well informed, no doubt.

What inflation indicator are you talking about and compared to what? Stop spreading misguided personal beliefs at best and misinformation at worst.
