Would like to know which supermarkets are de-listing Russian goods

All I have read is that they’re taking Russian vodka from the shelves.

Are many of our foodstuffs produced in Russia? Apart from vodka, not something I buy anyway, I have no idea.

Try Black Cow vodka, it’s made in the U.K. and is exceptionally good

This is quite a succinct article which explains what the impact on the economy might be, but touches on foodstuff as well as other consumables.

Thanks Casdon. Very interesting.

Useful - scary! - article, Casdon

Caviar and Vodka not much else from Russia.

If there is a shortage of anything prices go up, even if we have a different source of supply.

It may be that we have to forego some items for a while or cut down a bit. Surely a small price to pay for finally taking Russia to task. For those of you with a bit of room in the garden (and it doesn't take loads) may I recommend rescue hens? Easy to care for, good fun and eggs for you and your friends. We have three and I was sceptical but they are great. Hoping for peace for the people of Ukraine.

Wheat?
Is this where we get our flour?

If you read the article I posted above PamelaJ1 it explains about wheat. It will affect us although we don’t directly get our wheat from Russia. The impact of this war will affect the whole of Europe, with a direct impact on many commodities.

Sorry Casdon I have just slapped my wrist?

Sorry, I sounded a bit abrupt there, I didn’t mean to. It is worrying, 29% of the world’s wheat production no longer being in the system is definitely going to have a big impact.

I did know they grew a lot of wheat but didn't know about the "chain" of production and did think lots of our wheat was Canadian.

Russia is probably the largest exporter of wheat, together with Ukraine it is massive, Russia has taken over most(all) of Ukraines ports so that is bound to affect supplies.
North Africa and Middle East is the main market for Russian wheat, the UK imports from US and Canada and some from EU. Some years the UK has been self sufficient in bread wheat, recently production has been lower due to weather and environmental limitations

Why do we buy wheat from abroad? Are we not a nation of farmers?

Why do we buy wheat from abroad? Are we not a nation of farmers?

The UK has fallen from over 80% self sufficient in temperate food to around 60% due to the environment lobby wanting more birds, badgers, flowers and insects. With Brexit this is set to fall further, this is fine when there is world stability but a small war can upset the balance and prices soar.

We are seeing this with energy as well, we are sitting on an island of coal and gas, we could produce much more nuclear energy. The political influence of the environment lobby is costing us dear, thats fine for those that can afford to pay.

If I remember correctly, the link Casdon posted said that we produce the wheat for our own bread etc, but that animals eat some imported food.

Some years we do produce most of our bread wheat, on average it’s around 85% supplemented by Canadian and French mainly due to special properties. Other cereals, Maize, Soya and others byproducts come from the US, Brazil and elsewhere.

I don't fully understand it but there seems to be Russian involvement in Holland and Barrett.

Oops, I see there is another thread about Holland and Barrett which I need to read!

I don’t believe what you say Katie59, the UK does import foodstuffs from all over the world, but it’s because people want access to a much wider range of foods all year round, not because of the environmental lobby. If people wanted to eat more lamb, potatoes, carrots, swede and green beans we’d be self sufficient again, but they don’t.

More’s the pity. Our greengrocer sells mostly locally produced, seasonal fruit and veg. All fresh and delicious. Why do we really need asparagus in January, strawberries in February and so forth, both of which I could easily add to my Tesco order next week but won’t.
