New Polish government supports embargo against Ukrainian grain

If Ukrainian farmers expected that the change of government in Poland would make it easier for them to export their products, they were wrong – the new government supports the embargo.

Poland will not abandon the embargo on Ukrainian grain after the change of government. This was stated by the new Minister of Agriculture of this country Czeslaw Sekerski in an interview with Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

“I will do everything to maintain the current embargo,” the minister said.

He believes that the opening of the European market for agricultural products from Ukraine could completely destabilize not only the domestic market, but also the European market in the future. Therefore, Mr. Sekersky said, it is necessary to develop joint market solutions between Ukraine and the EU.

At the same time, the minister suggested that Poland could take advantage of the situation and stimulate its own processing sector thanks to cheap raw materials from Ukraine.
