Hungary looks to ban Ukrainian grain imports after mid-September

Published

on

Hungary, along with Romania, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, has entered into an agreement to block Ukrainian grain imports if the European Union does not extend its existing ban, set to expire on September 15, according to Hungary’s farm minister.

However, Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov expressed a different perspective, emphasising the benefits of lifting the ban on Ukrainian imports to reduce basic food prices, alleviate inflation, assist low-income individuals, and boost budget revenues.

In Bulgaria, a parliamentary committee has already endorsed a draft decision to lift the ban on certain Ukrainian imports after September 15, with the final decision expected during a plenary session.

Meanwhile, Slovakia’s government has confirmed its intention to maintain the ban, citing concerns about increased grain transport through the country and potential market disruptions.

Romania’s farm ministry has indicated that its decision will be contingent on the European Commission’s stance, emphasising that they have measures in place to protect their farmers should the ban not be extended.

Ukraine has been heavily reliant on alternative EU export routes known as “Solidarity Lanes” for its grain exports since Russia terminated a year-old deal in July, which had allowed Ukrainian grains to be shipped through its Black Sea ports safely. As a result, neighbouring countries such as Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Slovakia have faced intensified competition and market bottlenecks.

Russia, which initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine 18 months ago, has conditioned its return to the U.N.-brokered Black Sea grain deal on meeting certain requirements related to its own grain and fertiliser exports.

Hungary’s agriculture minister, Istvan Nagy, announced that the new national ban would encompass a broader range of Ukrainian products compared to existing measures.

The situation underscores the complexities surrounding regional trade and geopolitical factors, with countries balancing their economic interests with concerns about market stability and competition in the wake of Ukraine’s shifting grain export dynamics.
