We discussed the situation in Obleshevo with the purchase of rice from this harvest with the rice producers. The suffering is real, what is happening on the ground now, the price is starting to decrease even though the farmers of this region have survived a difficult year. According to the information we received from the customs administration, over 100 tons of white rice were imported from India, Pakistan, Italy, etc. in the past 2 months, and this greatly affects domestic production, said the head of the VMRO-DPMNE Agriculture Committee Cvetan Tripunovski in a Facebook post on Saturday.
“The question arises as to what kind of rice comes in, is it safe for the citizens, does anyone control it,” Tripunovski added.
