Mae'r achos o E.Coli yn yr Almaen wedi achosi anawsterau mawr i farchnad cynnyrch ffres yr UE. Gwnaeth datganiadau cynamserol yn yr Almaen a oedd yn rhoi y bai ar giwcymbrau Sbaenaidd niwed i hyder cwsmeriaid yn yr UE. Oherwydd y datganiadau hyn penderfynodd Ffederasiwn Rwsia wahardd mewnforio cynnyrch yr UE. Mae Rwsia fel arfer yn derbyn tua 35% o allforion yr UE. Er bod yr UE wedi parhau i fwyta cynnyrch cartref, mae hyn wedi cael effaith ar y marchnadoedd cyfanwerthu wrth i gynnyrch sydd dros ben o'r UE gael ei werthu yma am brisiau isel. Mae tyfwyr y DU wedi wynebu anawsterau wrth i'r lefel o gynnyrch sydd dros ben godi.
The E-coli outbreak in Germany has had a profoundly disruptive effect on the EU fresh produce market. Premature statements in Germany blaming Spanish cucumbers damaged the confidence of EU consumers and caused the Russian Federation to ban imports of EU produce.  Russia normally takes about 35% of EU exported production.  Although UK consumption of home produce has held up, there has been an impact on wholesale markets as surplus EU produce has been diverted here at low prices.  UK growers have experienced difficulty with surplus produce building up.
