Moldovan farmer associations are urging the government to extend restrictions on grain imports from Ukraine until 2025, as the current measures are due to expire on December 31. These restrictions, which mandate a special license for importing wheat, corn, and sunflowers, were introduced in July 2024 following local farmers' requests. The farmers have warned of potential protests if the government fails to continue safeguarding local producers, akin to actions taken by other Eastern European nations.
