they've already started feeling the brunt of the Russian import ban on some agricultural products. British businesses are warning they would lose out if the tension ratchets up to other industries.
On August 7, Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev ordered a one-year
ban on imports of beef, pork, poultry meat, fish, cheese, milk, vegetables and fruit from Australia, Canada, the EU, the US and Norway.
UK food exporters are concerned over the possible damage caused from losing sales in the Russian market.

It will have a big impact on business," the
BBC quotes Sinclair Banks, the boss of fishing and fish processing firm Lunar.
Half of Lunar's annual turnover of £60 million comes from Russian exports.

Another food producer, cheese maker Belton Cheese is also suffering.
