Before the outbreak of the war, they produced only 8.7% of their needs from internal sources, the rest they had to import, mainly from the Netherlands and Germany. In comparison, according to a government objective, by 2030, 75% of the potato fields should be supplied with domestically propagated seed potatoes.
