Ukraine Trans-border Grain Deliveries Cause Hardship for E.U. Neighbors

 04/11/2023

Recently EGG-NEWS commented on the concession granted to Ukraine to export grain to neighboring E.U. nations free of tariff.  This has resulted in a sharp decline in market prices for wheat and corn affecting farmers’ income despite an offer by the European Commission to provide compensation.

 

The conflict between the European Commission and affected eastern and central E.U. nations including Poland resulted in the Minister of Agriculture, Henrik Kowalczyk resigning in protest.

 

Farmers’ organizations in Poland have called for reintroduction of tariffs on grain from neighboring Ukraine. This follows an extension of the waiver by the European Commission until June 2024.
