EU BANS SALE OF UKRAINIAN AG PRODUCTS IN FIVE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
May 4, 2023
Agri-Pulse reports:
The European Commission has agreed to temporarily ban the sale of Ukrainian wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seed inside five EU countries. The ban, which runs from May 2 through June 5, doesn't block Ukraine from sending the farm commodities through Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia to be sold elsewhere in the EU or beyond.
Farmers in the five European countries surrounding Ukraine contend a flood of Ukrainian grain has been depressing local prices.
"While addressing concerns of farmers in those Member States neighboring Ukraine, the measures uphold the EU's strong commitment to support Ukraine and preserve its capabilities to export its grains which are critical to feed the world and keep food prices down, in the face of the huge challenges posed by the unprovoked Russian aggression," the commission says.
