“The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and the government appealed to the European Commission to compensate Ukrainian farmers for the cost of logistics in the amount of 30 euros per ton,” he was quoted as saying by TASS.
At the same time, it is noted that we are talking only about agricultural products that are sent to distant ports in Europe. According to Vysotsky, this should “improve exports”, including reducing the burden on Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria.
It should be remembered that these countries, apart from Romania, faced the most acute problems caused by the supply of cheap Ukrainian grain. Price dumping of Ukrainian agricultural exports, which, according to the EC decision, are not yet subject to tariffs, “ate” the profits of local farmers, which led first to their mass protests, and then to the ban of imports, which was extended until September 15.
