Of particular concern is the fact that Spain receives more than half of all Ukrainian grain imported into the EU.

Farmers in Spain asked to limit grain imports from Ukraine, because it leads to a significant decrease in prices in the domestic market. The organization Unión de Uniones is calling on the European Commission to intervene to prevent the bankruptcy of local farmers.

Farmers called for measures to reduce the volume of imports of Ukrainian grains, because the increase in supplies from Ukraine leads to a significant decrease in prices in the local market.

Of particular concern is the fact that Spain receives more than half of all Ukrainian grain imported into the EU.

It is reported that on September 25, a large-scale rally will be held in the port of Santander demanding control over the import of Ukrainian grain. A similar protest took place on September 23 at the European Union office in Madrid.

In 2023, Spain imported almost 8.4 million tons of Ukrainian grains, and only in the first half of 2024 this figure reached 6.5 million tons. The Unión de Uniones indicates a 45% drop in cereal prices from May 2022 due to increased imports.

Farmers are demanding that the government and the European Commission take steps to regulate imports and provide assistance to farmers.

Earlier, Bulgaria called for a ban on the import of eggs of Ukrainian origin.
