Onion Crisis in Belarus: Price Controls and Poor Harvest Leave Stores Empty

Onion shortage hits Belarusian stores. A recent video by Krynica shows the impact of a poor harvest and price controls on the availability of onions in Belarus. The author visited twelve stores, finding onions in only two. "The price restrictions made it unprofitable to import onions," explains Krynica. The shortage is affecting both small shops and large supermarkets. Consumers are hoping the situation will improve with the end of price controls and the new harvest. This situation highlights the challenges faced by Belarusian consumers due to economic pressures and supply chain issues.
