Farmers from “Solidarity” announce a nationwide protest caused by flooding the Polish grain marketplace from Ukraine. They're not gonna let it go.
Over the past weeks, farmers have organised local protests responding to the government's reckless policy of receiving grain from Ukraine. Unfortunately, they have proved ineffective, and they are now planning a protest across the country. In the coming days, concrete decisions on the scale of the protest will be made, but it is already known that the centre of Szczecin will be blocked. The agricultural protest town is to be established, to which farmers will come in tractors and another wagons utilized to grow the land. They besides plan wider activities, which this time will not consist solely in blocking circumstantial routes. In their opinion, specified action no longer impresses the government.
The pathological situation related to the intake of grain from Ukraine has been happening since 1 June 2022. Ukrainian farmers can import cereals into the EU without tariff and non-tariff restrictions under alleged solidarity corridors. Cereals were to pass through Poland to another countries, primarily African ones, and in practice most stay in Poland.
– A tonne of Ukrainian wheat costs PLN 700-800, while ours cost PLN 1600 in November. How do we compete? – asks the farmer in a conversation with writer Polsat News.
