President Duda says Poland determined to resolve grain dispute with Ukraine but must protect its farmers

Christian Fernsby |
The problems that arose in the Polish grain market due to imports from Ukraine will be addressed by state authorities, President Andrzej Duda said on Sunday.

According to Duda, the grain dispute between Poland and Ukraine is a temporary issue, and it would be unfair to blame ordinary Ukrainians for it, given their ongoing struggle with a war.

Speaking at the Presidential Harvest Festival in Warsaw on Sunday, Andrzej Duda explained that grain from Ukraine, produced by large oligarchic holdings, used to be delivered to many regions of the world, but Russia’s invasion disrupted the export routes.

Some of the Ukrainian grain flooded the Polish market, leading to serious disruptions, and Polish grain producers suffered "due to pathological processes that should never have taken place."

President Duda went on saying: "Huge holdings, which operate on areas ranging from several to tens of thousands of hectares, have an interest in selling this grain anywhere, while the interest of the entire world is to deliver this grain where it is needed."

Andrzej Duda admitted that as a result of the Polish embargo on imports of Ukrainian grain, tensions and disputes arose, however, Polish authorities are determined to resolve the conflict.

"I assure you that there is good will on the part of Polish authorities in this matter, but there is also an absolute conviction that our fundamental duty is to protect Polish farmers and their legitimate interests," the president said.
