"Polish Farmers' Border Blockade Sparks Ukraine Dispute Over Grain"

Polish farmers blocked the Ukraine border and spilled grain on the tracks in protest against the import of Ukrainian produce, arguing that it presents unfair competition in the Polish market. They also protested against EU regulations and the waiver of quotas and duties for imports from Ukraine since Russia's invasion. The farmers' actions have led to wider protests in EU member states, with farmers arguing that taxes, environmental regulations, and unfair competition from abroad are suffocating them.

Egypt Secures Massive Private Deal for Russian Wheat: Exclusive

Egypt's state grains buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), has purchased approximately 480,000 metric tons of Russian wheat in a private deal with trading firm Solaris. The purchase was made at a price of around $270 per ton on a cost and freight basis (C&F), lower than prices offered in traditional tenders. Egypt, one of the world's largest wheat importers, has been shifting towards direct purchases due to disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine. The price may be below Russia's unofficial floor price, which aims to control domestic wheat prices. The move comes as Egypt faces a foreign currency crunch and seeks to negotiate better prices during times of uncertainty.

Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia are in favor of extending the European Union ban on Ukrainian grain imports until the end of the year. The ban, which currently allows transit for export elsewhere, is set to end on September 15. The five countries also support grain transit subsidies and want to expand the list of import bans to include other products, such as raspberries in the case of Poland.
