- We will be affected, both as individuals and companies, with increased prices.

We can see that food prices will increase.

Both Ukraine and Russia are large exporters of grain to the EU, among others, says Annika Cederfeldt, who is head of business policy at the Jönköping Chamber of Commerce.

Great uncertainty for companies

Several companies in the county have contacted the Chamber of Commerce in Jönköping and told them that they are unsure whether they will do business with Russian companies in the future in view of the war in Ukraine.

- I talked to a company that imports from other EU countries, but they know that parts of the raw material come from Russia.

They see that they will receive questions from their other customers that they are doing business with Russia.

It will also affect their tendency to bring in new business, she says.
