Farmers in Ukraine’s bordering nations like Poland, Bulgaria and Romania are being severely damaged by an influx of cheap grain imports from the war torn country that are flooding markets and pushing down prices.
In a bid to help Ukraine, the EU is spearheading an initiative to move as much grain as possible out of the Ukraine and into EU countries via trains dubbed “solidarity lanes.”
However, farmers in eastern European countries can’t compete with this tariff-free grain arriving in their markets.
