Poland bans Ukrainian food imports to support local farmers.

Poland has temporarily banned grain and other food imports from Ukraine until June 30 to address the concerns of Polish farmers who are losing money due to a glut of Ukrainian grain on the market. The ban also includes sugar, eggs, meat, milk, fruits, and vegetables. The situation is a result of Russia's war against Ukraine, which caused the EU to lift duties on Ukrainian grain to facilitate its transport to Africa and the Middle East. Some unions and opposition politicians accuse government-linked companies of causing the problem by buying up cheap, low-quality Ukrainian grain and selling it as high-quality Polish produce.
