"Farmers who want to call us" – Enköping

Now that there is drought and shortages of food, farmers in the country are having difficulties. Some stores in the kingdom have therefore stopped importing foreign meat or have started giving games to farmers to help them.

– About 95% of our meat is already Swedish and a large part is also local. We can not just sell Swedish meat because it will end too quickly. But we plan to buy more Swedes and build countryside around her, "says Ola Bergström, manager of the Ica Maxi store in Enköping

but the store has already helped the farmers with food for many years

– We have been distributing fruit, vegetables and bread to farmers for years. The peasants who want to feel free to call us, because if we can help them, we will do it. According to Ola Bergström, we also welcome what we can do to help farmers now in the event of drought.

The newspaper spoke at several local food stores. Many of them want to help farmers, and some like Ica Maxi, give their game to farmers. The many people have in common to follow rules, not to give food anyway or to stop selling certain products.
