“Today we will issue clear instructions on checking all grain transits at the Ukrainian border for compliance or non-compliance with Poland and our agriculture,” he said.
According to Kolodziejczak, 15 thousand shipments of feed grain from Ukraine were registered, the smallest of which was the size of a truck, and the largest “was the size of a whole train, that is, several dozen wagons.” And most of this grain is not tested in Poland.
Kolodziejczak said that checking grain at the border is an “inappropriate” method, but said that he himself “does not trust a test of importers and exporters who send products from abroad.”
“Today, at a meeting with the various services, I will request that all shipments of grain intended for export, but subject to the embargo, be inspected in Poland. clear instructions about inspections of all grain at the Ukrainian-Polish border, subject to sealing and subsequent transit.
Kolodziejczak noted that when such grain enters Germany and, after inspection, turns out to be of poor quality, then in 99% of cases it is returned to Poland, but as European grain.
Similar checks will be introduced, including regarding grain checks at ports.
The official announced that he will apply for a detailed list of the grains removed from the ports. Similar actions will be taken regarding the accounting of grain imported to Poland by German companies.
Kolodziejczak will also direct the creation of an information platform where farmers can directly report problems and violations to the ministry by phone and via the Internet.
We remind you that on February 9, Polish farmers began a new nationwide strike. It will last until March 10. Initially, three checkpoints were blocked on the Ukrainian border, and this morning the blockade was extended to two more checkpoints.
