Ukrainian Grain Exports Spark Concerns Amidst Polish Farmer Protests
As Ukrainian farmers prepare to export the last of this year's grain harvest by the end of May, concerns arise about its impact on both domestic and global markets. Mykola Gorbachev, president of the Ukrainian Grain Association (UGA), anticipates a slight price hike due to decreased supply.
Gorbachev acknowledges the logistical challenges but remains optimistic about future opportunities, especially in light of potential alliances, such as Poland's alignment with France. However, he foresees potential hurdles, including legislative restrictions, which may hinder Ukrainian grain access to the European market.
Despite these challenges, Gorbachev remains confident in Ukraine's ability to adapt and explore new markets, emphasizing the resilience of the agricultural sector. As the current season concludes, he looks forward to strengthening Ukraine's position in the global grain market in the coming years.
