Hungary unilaterally extended and expanded restriction against Ukraine
Change language:
The government will protect the interests of Hungarian farmers and after Brussels decided not to maintain the import ban on Ukraine agricultural produce, Hungary will extend the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain on its own national authority and expand it to more products, Minister of Agriculture István Nagy said on Friday.
The ministry cited Nagy saying that the EU ban on the import of certain Ukraine agricultural products expires at midnight. The moratorium must be maintained in order to prevent market disruptions, Nagy said. If cheap Ukrainian imports again swamped the markets of EU countries neighbouring Ukraine, there will not be enough storage capacity for the autumn harvest and it will be impossible to sell products in the domestic market, he added. As a result, farmers would have to face even greater difficulties which must not be allowed to happen, the minister said.
“We will protect the interests of Hungarian farmers under any circumstances and by all means,” Nagy said, adding that Hungary would continue to allow the transit of Ukrainian products through its territory.
King Charles III has supported organic gardening for decades. The Hungarian government is using heritage seeds to safeguard the population. It would be a sin to flood the country with Monsanto genetically altered seeds that could have adverse effects on the population. Ukraine is using genetically altered seeds, and the chemicals show up in the final product, the grain. Hungary must keep out all genetically altered agricultural products. It is time to return the grain to Ukraine, grain that was dumped in Hungary. If Ukraine or western EU does not take the genetically altered seeds, burn it.
The net does not have adequate information. Were Ukrainian agricultural products ever dumped previously in Central Europe? Are Wester European Countries ever bought or received Ukrainian agricultural products? Did Germany ever buy Ukrainian grain? Was Africa and Middle East not the main markets for Ukrainian grains? Do Central European countries not produce sufficient agricultural products, e.g., Hungary? Do Central European countries import citrus fruits mostly?
