Poland introduces restrictions on the import of grain from Ukraine

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the introduction of rules that will limit the import of Ukrainian grain into the country, RBC-Ukraine reported with reference to Wprost publication.

The Polish authorities are ready to help Ukraine with the export of grain to other countries, for example, Africa, but do not want it to enter the country's domestic market and destabilize it. Therefore, the government is introducing rules that will limit the influence of Ukrainian grain on Poland, and has already sent a letter to the European Commission with a request to "take radical measures."

In addition, M. Moravetskyi stated that "in order to limit the export of grain from Ukraine, the country is ready to go to conflict and is considering the possibility of using those instruments for which it has not yet received approval from the European Commission. The crisis is very powerful, so it's better to let them punish us later."

It is worth noting that Poland has already introduced tariffs and quotas to minimize the impact of Ukrainian agricultural products on its market. The government is also developing subsidies for Polish farmers in the amount of PLN 100-200/t ($23-46/t) for the transportation of wheat and corn to ports in the Baltic states.
