Tridge summary

Cabbage prices in Poland have reached a record high due to the smallest harvest in a decade and a lack of high-quality, storable produce. Wholesale prices range from 1.1-1.5 PLN/kg, with top-quality cabbage costing 1.3-1.5 PLN/kg.

However, the quantity of these foreign items is not decisive for the time being, they ...
