Ukraine: A third of the wheat to the EU, here is the plan to save it

Published 2022년 5월 11일

Tridge summary

The European Union has unveiled an emergency plan to save around one-third of Ukraine's cereal exports, including wheat, maize, and barley, which are essential for the EU's food needs. This plan aims to facilitate the transport of Ukrainian goods by land, rail, road, and sea, especially in the face of the Russian bombardment and the blockade of Black Sea ports. The EU also intends to use Polish ports on the Baltic for shipments and improve storage facilities and European connection corridors with Ukraine and Moldova. The goal is to simplify bureaucratic procedures for the entry of goods into Europe while maintaining consumer health and safety. This move is significant as Ukraine is a major supplier of cereals, and the blockade caused by the Russian invasion is widening the area of food poverty with the risk of famine. Italy, as a deficit country, imports a significant portion of its wheat and corn needs and is heavily reliant on Ukraine for corn.
