Danish pig producers will suffer significant damage as a result introduced by Russia ban on food imports from EU countries.

"Danish producers must wait for the drop of income, is reported today by the press release from the Danish Council for agriculture and food. In the fourth quarter they will receive 1.5 crowns less per kilogram of meat, which means 140 CZK (USD 25.5) less for pork carcass", transfers ITAR-TASS.

"Europe is flooded with food after Russia stopped importing, - said the head of the Council søren Gade. - This means that prices will fall as a whole. We hope to normalize relations with Russia in the foreseeable future, because Russia is a really good market."

"Currently there is an active search for alternative markets that could absorb pork, which is usually sent to Russia", - he said, noting that, in particular, we are talking about the Latin American market.

The Russian ban on the import of food was the answer to the countries that have imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation in connection with the events in Eastern Ukraine.

Gad noted that the Russian retaliatory sanctions were imposed, when the Danish pig producers have been under pressure, and called them straw.

"After five difficult years for Danish producers 2014 initially looked good, "he said. Now these dreams have vanished, and producers, who will send, for example, to combine "Danish crown" 3 thousand pigs will get to 420 thousand CZK ($76 thousand) less than the same period last year."

From the Russian retaliatory sanctions were not the only Danish pig producers. Company for the production of milk and dairy products "Arla" was compelled for this reason to reduce 79 jobs.

Meanwhile, in the Rostov region on the days employees Millerovo customs detained residents of Ukraine who tried to bring into the territory of the Russian Federation 42 tons of fat from Denmark. "Lard supporting documents are moved through the Russian-Ukrainian border out posts, fields", - said the employee of the press service of the southern customs Directorate Olga Shamraev, reports portal Donnews.ru.
