Ukraine's Grain Exports Face Bans from Eastern European Countries.

Slovakia has become the third EU country to ban food imports from Ukraine, following Poland and Hungary, due to a glut of grain in their countries causing economic hardship for farmers. The EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, objects to unilateral or uncoordinated measures and is seeking a solution that respects the EU legal framework. Five EU countries that neighbor Ukraine have asked the EU to treat the matter of Ukrainian food with urgency. Ukraine and Russia are both major global suppliers of wheat, barley, sunflower oil and other affordable food products that developing nations depend on.
