According to the Russian website today, the Russian website quoted Reuters on September 25. Due to the continuous rise in energy prices, vegetable producers in some European countries are considering stopping greenhouse planting, which will lead to further threats of food in Europe.

It is reported that due to the soaring power and natural gas prices, farmers who use greenhouses to plant vegetables have no longer affording high energy costs. Some French farmers pointed out that in the 2023 power contract they renewed, the electricity quotation was more than 10 times that of 2021. A German vegetable producer also said that due to the increase in energy expenditure, the overall production cost increased by about 30%. Some people are considering giving up the use of greenhouse planting to reduce costs as much as possible. In Spain, in addition to rising energy prices, the surge in fertilizer, packaging, and transportation costs have intensified vegetables and fruits. According to reports, Spain's fertilizer prices have risen about 25%compared with last year.
