Eastern European Countries Collaborate to Boost Ukrainian Grain Imports via Upgraded Black Sea Ports

Romania's government plans to upgrade the road infrastructure in the Black Sea port of Constanta, aiming to double the monthly transit capacity of Ukrainian grain to 4 million tonnes. The government has already upgraded railroad lines connecting Romania to Ukraine and is working on improving navigation on the Danube. The project in Constanta Port, costing $155.67 million, will repair existing infrastructure, build new roads, and launch a digitized traffic management system. These efforts aim to support Ukraine's grain transit and enhance regional interconnectivity.

EU Implements Restrictions on Ukrainian Grain Imports Following Farmer Protests

Bulgaria, Hungary, and Slovakia have called for an import ban on Ukrainian grain, but this violates European law. The EU has offered over €150 million in emergency aid to farmers, but this is dependent on the withdrawal of restrictions. Romania and Poland have suspended the ban on the transit of Ukrainian grain after the EU's announcement.

Ukrainian grain imports spark farmer protests in Romania and Bulgaria.

Farmers in central and eastern Europe are protesting against the impact of cheap Ukrainian grain imports, which have undercut domestic prices and hit the sales of local producers. The European Commission temporarily eliminated all duties and quotas on Ukraine’s exports, allowing a glut of cheap Ukrainian grain to flow into Europe, causing “huge market distortions” in neighboring countries, according to European farmers’ association Copa-Cogeca. The Commission's draft decision to extend duty-free and quota-free imports of Ukrainian grain until June 2024 has prompted protests and demands for compensation from affected farmers.
