Residents of Germany have been warned that they may face food shortages.
German food associations cite the continuing rise in raw material prices as the reason for the risk.
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the TV channel Das Erste.
In turn, price growth for food products is stimulated by the current situation in Ukraine, the story says.
In connection with the emerging threat of food shortages, local associations called on the country’s authorities to quickly take the necessary measures.
At a certain point, the question may not be how much the ingredients for our products cost, but whether we will be able to obtain them in principle,” said Christian von Betticher, head of the Federal Association of the German Food Industry.
He called on the Minister of Agriculture to switch from the Green Party program to “proactive crisis management”.
And industry associations say that in the near future the prices of dairy products and baked goods may again rise significantly in Germany.
Price growth for these products is projected to be between 20 and 30 percent.
