Greek crisis prompts food fears

UK media reports are warning of possible food and medicine shortages in Greece ahead of the country's referendum.

UK newspapers were warning of possible food shortages in Greece ahead of the country's bail-out referendum on July 5th. Some media outlets reported on the strong culture of local food production in rural Greece while others warned that the Greek crisis would hit exports such as olive oil and wine.
