Latvian producers have expressed concern over the limited presence of locally-sourced products in major retail chains. Current figures indicate that approximately one-third of milk, half of chicken, less than half of flour, and just over 50% of onions sold in these stores originate from Latvia. Retailers attribute this to production capacity limitations among local suppliers and the impact of seasonal availability. Latvian Radio reported on the issue June 26th, highlighting a discrepancy between producer capacity and retailer demand. Producers are worried about the sustainability of the local agricultural sector if the trend continues. Retailers maintain they are willing to stock more local goods if supply increases. The situation underscores ongoing challenges in balancing local sourcing with consumer demand and supply chain logistics within Latvia.
