Poland's government said it has decided to temporarily prohibit grain and other food imports from Ukraine as it seeks to soothe the anger of Polish farmers.
Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski attends a joint meeting with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Slovenia's Prime Minister Janez Jansa and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in Kyiv, Ukraine March 15, 2022.
The government announced that the ban on imports would last until June 30. The regulation also includes a prohibition on imports of sugar, eggs, meat, milk and other dairy products and fruits and vegetables. "We cannot accept a situation where the entire burden of dealing with increased imports rests mainly with farmers from our countries," Telus said.
Poland's government has sought to blame the EU for the situation. But some unions and opposition politicians accuse government-linked companies of causing the problem by buying up cheap, low-quality Ukrainian grain, and then selling it to bread and pasta plants as high-quality Polish produce.
