So manufacturers are trying to save unclaimed products.
Farmers urged Europeans eat steak, potatoes and cheese, which is generated during the pandemic crisis will help to get rid of surplus production.
otherwise, the goods, which usually went to restaurants and hotels, will have to be disposed of, reports the Daily Mail.
French farmers call “to do everything possible for the sake of cheese”, but the Belgians propose to eat every week for a side of fries. The country has accumulated 750 thousand tons of potatoes unclaimed.
In the UK, the Council for the development of agriculture and horticulture has started a social media campaign to promote the steaks to try to reduce the excess beef.
According to the latest figures from Eurostat, the EU economy decreased by 3.5% in the first three months of 2020. At that rate, she will fall by 13% for the year, and Europe will miss almost 2 trillion euros. And this despite the fact that about the same she will have to spend to fight the virus and crisis.
