Hungary

The Hungarian government plans to close the border for some grain products from Ukraine starting September 16.

The Hungarian authorities want the EU ban on the domestic sale of Ukrainian grain to be extended, even after the current measures expire on September 15.

Hungary offered Turkey help to extend the Grain Agreement and expand it from three to five ports.

Hungarian officials insist on extending restrictions on the import of at least two crops from Ukraine.

Hungary initiated the expansion of sea routes for the export of Ukrainian products in order to reduce the flow of land shipments.

Hungary has asked the European Union to extend restrictions on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products. It is proposed to extend the ban until the end of 2023.

Hungary remains the only one of Ukraine’s neighboring countries that still maintains unilateral restrictions against Ukrainian agricultural imports.

The Government of Hungary canceled the requirements regarding the stay of transit Ukrainian grain on the territory of the state for no more than 7 days.

The European Commission criticized the decision of Poland and Hungary to ban the import of Ukrainian grain.

Hungary introduced a ban on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products until June 30. The ban applies to products of both plant and animal origin.
