The cost of farm inputs has risen faster. Try making fertilizer and pesticides without natural gas. Try running farm machines without diesel. At the same time the EU basically dropped its trade barriers to imported Ukrainian produce. So whoever competes with Ukraine is pretty much screwed. This whole EU policy is pretty idiotic. One of the pillars of the EU was its farm policy. The EU is supposed to be self-reliant in terms of food production, not import its food from a foreign warzone.Europe has seen massive increases in food prices over the last two years and yet farmers are still struggling. What gives?
