The European Union's grain market is experiencing price pressure, despite a poor harvest in many member states, due to increased import of grain, particularly from Ukraine. This import is driving down prices and affecting the profitability of EU farmers, as Ukrainian grain is cheaper. The EU's self-sufficiency levels for key grains are high, with 123% for common wheat last year, yet imports have increased rapidly, mainly from Ukraine. The situation is impacting the profitability of EU farmers and raising concerns about market balance.
