As previously reported by Ukrinform, hungary followed poland in temporarily banning imports of grain and oilseeds from Ukraine. They emphasized that a significant portion of Ukrainian grain is not transported in transit but settles in Poland, thereby reducing the purchase prices in Poland for grain from Polish farmers.
