Poland and Hungary have banned imports of grain and other food products from Ukraine following a surge in cheap goods
The Polish prime minister’s office said the move was “to protect the Polish agricultural market against destabilization.” Ukraine responded by saying it “regrets the decision of its Polish counterparts” and was ready to cooperate with Poland in an investigation of any possible abuses.
Ukrainian grain has since flowed into Poland but much of it has remained in the country, bringing down the price and causing Polish farmers to suffer significant financial losses. Farmers across central and eastern Europe have been demonstrating against Ukrainian grain imports. Protesters blocked traffic and border checkpoints with tractors along the border between Romania and Bulgaria, in an effort to prevent Ukrainian trucks from entering their country.
