Maliszewski has recently visited India from the Polish delegation, where he conducted dialogues on the supply of agricultural products.


Supply of apples in India, although the Polish apples are one of the cheapest in the world, may not be profitable for farmers." taking into account all expenses, as well as among them, the transport and duty, the manufacturer is likely to get only about 40 pence a kilo of apples (about 10 cents). Hope to get to come to a common opinion on the slightly higher price is 50-60 pence per kilogram ", - he explained.
