The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food is optimistic that the situation with Polish farmers blocking the border will not be repeated. This was stated by the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotsky during a telethon, UNN reports.
The agreement was preceded by a lot of work on all sides and a dialogue. It is very important that Ukrainian farmers and associations of Ukrainian agricultural producers have also actively engaged in this dialogue with their Polish counterparts. This is why we are optimistic. The fact that the dialogue did not stop with the fact of unblocking the borders. It continues between ministries and specialized associations. Given these circumstances, there is a cautious optimism that we will not have to return to the critical situation that we had with the blockade, and if there are any reservations, they can be resolved on the basis of this established bilateral dialogue
He added that in May or early June, representatives of Polish farmers are expected to visit Ukraine to make an objective assessment, including what it is like to work in the face of a full-scale invasion.
Recall
Ukraine plans to grow several times more grains and oilseeds than domestic demand, remaining a significant exporter and influencing international prices.
