Poland Bans Food Imports from Ukraine to Protect Farmers
- Poland has temporarily banned grain and other food imports from Ukraine to protect its farmers
- The ban will last until June 30 and includes sugar, eggs, meat, milk, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables
- Farmers in neighboring countries have also complained about Ukrainian grain flooding their markets and causing prices to fall
- The situation is a result of Russia's war against Ukraine and the EU lifting duties on Ukrainian grain to facilitate its transport to Africa and the Middle East
- The ban and rising anger of farmers could impact the ruling conservative Law and Justice party in the upcoming election, as it faces a challenge from a far-right party sympathetic to Russia.
