The protests of Polish farmers continue

Zelensky's visit to Poland may be interrupted

Ukrainian grain is not to blame for the fall in prices in Poland

It is not profitable for Ukrainian exporters to take grain to a neighboring country now

Farmers in Poland, who oppose the import of Ukrainian grain into the country, said that they may disrupt Volodymyr Zelenskyi's visit to the country, scheduled for April 5, if the authorities do not fulfill their demands. About this, as reported by "European Truth".

As noted, the association of Polish farmers Oszukana Wieś ("Deceited Village") last week concluded an agreement with the government on the implementation of 11 demands, including increased border control, compensation and soft loans. But on Monday, the farmers said that none of the points had been implemented.

Because of this, farmers will resume protests in the village of Chernychyn near the border town of Hrubesiv and do not rule out that they may stage protests during Volodymyr Zelenskyi's visit to Poland.

We will remind you that during the last few months, Polish farmers have been holding protests against the transit of Ukrainian agricultural products through the territory of Poland to third countries.

Subsequently, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Thursday announced an agreement with the European Commission on compensation for Polish farmers due to the losses caused by the duty-free export of grain from Ukraine.

At the same time, Polish trader Andrii Abdulov said in an interview on Latifundist.com that it is not entirely correct to blame Ukrainian grain for all problems. Since the Poles hardly buy Ukrainian grain now, those deliveries are carried out for which contracts were previously signed.

"If we continue to talk about prices, rapeseed is very popular in Poland. Just like sunflowers in Ukraine, so rapeseed in Poland. Rapeseed oil is used in everyday life, it is added to diesel fuel. A year ago, the price of rape on the MATIF exchange was approximately €1,000 per ton. Now it is not even €500/t. Is there wine in this Ukrainian grain? I don't think so," said Andriy Abdulov.

In particular, it is not profitable even for Ukrainian exporters to take grain to Poland now.

"Look at the price of fuel. The fuel imported into Ukraine also leaves Poland. Today, Poland is the main hub for arms and fuel supplies to Ukraine. And now it is not profitable for the Poles to pay for Ukrainian grain. But despite this, prices are flying down. Although the prices of rapeseed, corn and wheat are leveling off a little, but this is nothing compared to the prices that were in January of this year. I'm not talking about the prices six months ago," explained the trader.
