Seed Potatoes going to Russia

[Pennine Ploughing]

Dont see the problem myself , its governments that start and fight wars not civilians, no need for us to make the ordinary russian civilian suffer they have sufferd enough over the years .

Oh and you think its OK for the Ukraine civilians in there situation you think
This export should not go ahead,
Yes Russians have suffered for years, but pressure needs to be put on them to create civil unrest to get changes, not feeding them

Pepsi don’t sell spuds, they sell value added junk food. In the UK they produce Walkers crisps, in the rest of the world they sell them branded as Leys. Doubt the Russians will starve to death for want of a packet of prawn cocktail.
The Ukrainian population had the strength of mind to overthrow a puppet government in 2014. If the Russians want to sacrifice 3000 of their kids a week in support of a genocidal dictator, then frankly, f**k ‘em.

Cannot believe 600 tons of Scotch seed are set to be exported direct to Russia.
Scottish government apparently have approved it…
Total Value said to be £660k….
Firstly have the vendors got no conscience…secondly Scottish Gov could easily have found £600k to buy them and send for animal feed…
Shamefull!

Ahh taking money from the Russians rather than giving it to them like the eu, good plan

She would do oat that was opposite to what england is doing just out of spite to be contrary

They are as much victims as the Ukraine civilian’s.

Not sure many Russians have had their homes bombed lately?

There is a shortage of seed potatoes here FFS

That mgjt be a good thing ,
grow 20% less ,might improve the job and stop growing on marginal land

No quite
But it wasn't the Russian civilians that done that, it wad Putin's army

Getting there across Europe may be a problem….the Poles are pretty good at preventing trucks transiting towards Russia with goods.

So what exactly have those 'sanctions' covered?

Reading some of this I think I’ve entered a parallel universe where the Russians are blameless good guys. Obviously having to go short of crisps is the same as having your apartment block shelled and your hospitals bombed.

Yep but it should be remembered the best way to tackle an invasive weed is to destroy the roots.
600 tons of missing seed potatoes will not achieve this …but it will cause questions to be asked and doubts to be raised about the despotic regime that runs their lives and is currently carrying out Mass Murder in Ukraine.
Too easy to imagine some poor Russian Farmer being punished by the none arrival of seed potatoes…..most unlikely…much more likely the potatoes are heading into a huge joint setup between Pepsi and The Russian Government / The Kremlin / Putin / The Russian Mafia …take your pick they are all intertwined.
Until the Guy on the tractor asks why there are no Seed Potatoes to plant, nothing will change.

I dont share your view.

Looks like they're a cooperative of 16 growers throughout Scotland. It would be interesting to find out who they are.

Does anyone know which varieties PepsiCo / Walkers specify for crisp production?

I dont share your view.

Ok but Ukrainians share the view (with relevance to this topic) that trade sanctions are wanted by them by us against Russia to try and help to stop the 'special operation' by Russia that's killing them and blowing their homes and lively hoods to nothing.

 

[betweenthelines]

If you only sold stuff to buyers you approved of morally, you'd never sell anything.

Milling wheat to make bread for the obese or God forbid, vegans
Malting barley to make beer for p*ssheads
Anything that can be eaten by a Socialist

The list is endless

 

[Hilly]

I hope some you on here with your high morals apply them to your own business and personal lives, i have my doubts tho .

 

[Flatlander]

judging by the news here that Russian men of fighting age are skipping the country to avoid conscription and interviews with a bunch of Russian soldiers that were wanting no part in the war it’s seems that as usual the top military and leaders are the problem. Selling spuds is it isn’t going to break Putin buy it’s another dent in his already beat up image. More pressure to the likes of India should be imposed fir buying oil from there at 20% discount as I read last night. Supporter of putin should be privy to the same sanctions and not be back stabbing countries trying to keep peace in the world. Biden seems very concerned about China supporting the Russians but India is no different. Sanctions won’t stop Putin and unless someone inside deals with him he’s not going to stop.
