Honey production in #Romania has drastically decreased due to excessive temperatures. This year has been marked by extreme weather events that severely impacted beekeeping production. 'In Europe and beyond, atmospheric conditions and climate change are causing significant problems for bee colonies, and unfortunately, Romania is no exception,' says Ioan Fetea, president of the Romanian Association of Beekeepers (ACA). These challenges are further worsened by the presence of non-EU #honey in the internal market, which has led to a significant drop in prices, reducing Romanian beekeepers' ability to capitalize on their modest 2024 production.

The Netherlands has supported the #potato industry in Ukraine for many years — from improving growing technology, storage, and institutional capacity building to realizing the export potential. Currently, the question of drafting a strategy for the development of the potato industry is relevant, taking into account the challenges caused by the war, the loss of infrastructure, and the logistics complications. This was said by Carolien Spaans Agricultural Counsellor of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ukraine during the All-Ukrainian Potato Day. According to Carolien Spaans, the experience of the Netherlands can be useful for representatives of the Ukrainian sector to determine priorities and establish cooperation with international organizations.
