Slovakia’s growing foreign trade deficit in groceries

Slovakia's foreign trade balance in groceries has gone into deep deficit, with the difference between imports and exports during the first 10 months this year being as much as €1 billion, reported the Slovak Agriculture and Food Chamber. Comparted to the same period last year, the difference has jumped up by a quarter of a billion Euro, representing 33,9%. According to the producers' organisation, the highest year-on-year decline was recorded in exports of crops and animal products.
