The Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture reportedly fears that Ukrainian agricultural exports will “negatively affect the European agricultural market.”

The agriculture ministers of Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary, in a joint letter to the European Commission, called for the introduction of import duties on Ukrainian grains due to dumping prices in front-line country. This was reported by the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture.

“In a joint letter, the agriculture ministers of the neighboring EU member states once again called on the European Commission to act so that Brussels can find a solution and help farmers cope with the market shocks caused of agricultural products of Ukraine,” said the head of the Hungarian Department, Istvan Nagy.

According to him, in June 2023, farmers in neighboring countries suffered huge losses. Therefore, the ministers of agriculture of Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia wrote a letter to the Vice-President of the European Commission, European Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis and European Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski.

Nagy noted that the five neighboring countries are among the six EU member states that may produce more wheat and corn than they need, so the contribution of their farmers to European food security and the strategic autonomy of the EU is no small importance.

“Brussels must introduce measures that protect the markets of EU member states bordering Ukraine and at the same time give them the opportunity to use their export potential. One of these opportunities is could be the introduction of customs duties on the most sensitive agricultural products,” believes the Hungarian minister.

The head of the Hungarian agriculture department also noted that the common position of the five countries is that Ukrainian agricultural exports “cannot negatively influence the European agricultural market.”

Nagy claims that the interests of Hungarian farmers “will be protected in every way from discarded Ukrainian agricultural products and products, often of dubious quality.”

As we have already written, in the 2022/2023 marketing year, Ukraine exported about 49 million tons of grain and legumes.

Then our country earned more than 20 billion dollars. However, Ukrainian farmers lost more than $1 billion due to the idle time of grain ships.
