It is easy to write article by a journalist trying to cook up a scandal, but the economic impact is really not this large.

The article said Czech fruit and vegetable growers are likely to lose $27-$65 million in sales. To put it into context this is 0.1-0.3% of their GDP and there are already compensation schemes being worked out.

Poland already asked the EU for a $500,000,000 hand-out for their farmers. That might not be a large percentage of their GDP, but I am guessing their farmers are hurting sans government compensation.
