“It is true that grain imports from Ukraine have destabilized this market, although it is true that this market has been destabilized due to world prices, Prime Minister Morawiecki stressed. The head of government pointed out that Ukrainian grain was being exported from Poland and called on circles participating in the agreement to keep to the agreements.
Problems with Ukrainian grain
Deputy Prime Minister Kowalczyk apologized. But I also want to refer to the agreement reached a few days ago. There were representatives of different groups, different political and social centers. If a particular agreement is signed and someone breaks the agreement after three days – probably the April 12 date is a short period of time – it doesn’t give time to implement individual solutions, then something must be wrong here. I’m just asking so that the Ministry of Agriculture can act on the market. Today, there are 5-6 times fewer shipments from the East, the vast majority continue on transit, Elewarr’s warehouses are already half empty and there is room for Polish grain. It is not that the Ministry of Agriculture is doing nothing. I ask all circles that have participated in this agreement to abide by it. It was something valuable
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki pointed it out.

Talks with the President of Ukraine
During the talks with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, we will definitely discuss Ukrainian grain and various agricultural products, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced. We want any trade with Ukraine not to destabilize our market, he added.

This is certainly a very important subject for us, for Poland
