Poland & Hungary ban Ukraine grain imports

The move by both nations is being done to protect farmers

 
Poland and Hungary have banned imports of grain and other foods from Ukraine to protect their farmers.

A European Commission spokesperson condemned the, quote, “unacceptable” unilateral actions on trade by the two member states.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year blocked some Black Sea ports, leaving large quantities of Ukrainian grain, which is cheaper than that produced in the European Union, in Central European states due to logistical bottlenecks.

That knocked prices and sales for local farmers, angering Poland’s ruling nationalist Law and Justice party – which has a big rural support base – in an election year.

The Polish ban, which came into effect on Saturday evening, will also apply to the transit of these products through the country, the development and technology minister said on Sunday.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government followed suit, but did not say when its ban would come into effect.

Kyiv said the Polish ban contradicted bilateral agreements and called for talks to settle the issue.

Ukraine exports most of its agricultural goods, especially grain, via its Black Sea ports, which were unblocked in July under an agreement between Ukraine, Turkey, Russia and the United Nations.

China’s dominance in the electric vehicle (EV) market is reshaping the global automotive landscape, as acknowledged by Elon Musk, who views Chinese car companies as Tesla’s most formidable competitors.

 

Beyond being a manufacturing hub, China has excelled in EV development, influencing the industry across resource refining, battery production, software, and manufacturing. Established brands such as Audi, Toyota, and BMW are now collaborating with Chinese partners for EV platforms, batteries, and production. This shift is evident in Australia, where China-made car sales have surged 16-fold in the last five years, and top-selling EVs are predominantly Chinese.

Leading Chinese brands like BYD, SAIC Motor’s MG, and Chery are making significant strides in Australia, with ambitious plans and models that outperform established competitors. China’s impact extends beyond its borders, making it a driving force in the global EV market, shaping growth, innovation, and competition in sustainable mobility.
