Local cucumbers and tomatoes running out in Kaliningrad stores
Currently, these vegetables are primarily sourced from other regions of Russia, with tomatoes also being imported from Turkey and soon to be supplied from Azerbaijan, according to Alexey Yelaev, Deputy CEO of the Spar retail chain.
The local greenhouses in Kaliningrad cannot ensure year-round supply and local vegetables are expected to return to the market in February–March.
