Poland plans to ban Ukrainian grain transit from April 1

Polish Agriculture Minister Czeslaw Sekirski, State Secretary Michał Kołozyczak, and representatives of protesting farmers have agreed to maintain the embargo on Ukrainian agricultural products, including wheat, corn, wheat flour, rapeseed, and sunflower seeds. The embargo, which has been in effect since mid-September 2023, will continue, and the Polish Minister of Agriculture has been tasked with requesting the government to halt the transit of certain products through Poland starting from April 1, 2024.
