Maxima and Rimi:

Latvia: 'Local vegetables too expensive'

Two largest supermarket chains in Latvia, Rimi and Maxima refuse to buy local vegetables, indicating that they are too expensive, Chairman of the Farmers' Saeima, Juris Lazdins said in an interview with the Latvian Television show Riga Panorama on Monday, informs LETA.

He explained that foreign producers are forcing the locals out of the market, slowly taking over their market share.

As reported, Polish farmers have suffered major losses due to Russia's embargo, which is why Poland has started exporting its produce to other markets, including Latvia.

Meanwhile, as of February, Rimi and "Supernetto" are offering the first Latvian-grown lettuce from the greenhouses of the farm "Ritausma" ("Dawn") in southeastern Latvia.
