Poland plans to maintain the embargo on Ukrainian grain

Poland’s new Minister of Agriculture said that the country will not abandon the embargo on Ukrainian agricultural products.

“I will do everything to maintain the current embargo,” Polish Agriculture Minister Czeslaw Siekerski said in an interview with the Polish newspaper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

According to him, the opening of the European market for Ukrainian agricultural products can in the future completely destabilize not only the domestic market, but also the European one.

He noted that it is necessary to develop joint market solutions between Ukraine and the European Union.

The minister also added that Poland could take advantage of the situation and stimulate its own processing sector thanks to cheap raw materials from Ukraine.
