EU Enhances Scrutiny on Ukrainian Grain Exports to Address Farmers' Concerns
Source: The DairyNews
In response to the apprehensions of Ukrainian farmers, the European Union (EU) is set to intensify checks on Transport Workers to ensure compliance with agreements when exporting grain from Ukraine.
This effort aims to address the issues raised by protesting farmers, as reported by Reuters, citing statements from the European Commissioner for Transport, Adina Velyan.
Velyan firmly opposed the idea of closing borders for trade with Ukraine and emphasized the importance of proper agreement implementation. "As long as the agreements are implemented properly, there should be no problems, and we are working to strengthen implementation," said the European commissioner. She stressed the need to ensure that operators adhere to agreed-upon transactions and restrict themselves to authorized two-way operations with transit rights.
Highlighting the mutual benefits of trade, Velyan pointed out that EU countries, including Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, have experienced double-digit growth in exports by road from Ukraine. This growth surpasses the influx of goods into these countries. In January alone, 3 million tons of grain transited through the region, with approximately 2.04 million tons passing through Romania.
The move to reinforce verification processes underscores the EU's commitment to fostering a smooth and fair trade relationship with Ukraine while addressing the concerns of local farmers.

Carbon emissions in global milk production - the elephant in the room
I have been thinking to make this post yes/ no. I decided for yes and like to ask everyone to not "shoot the messenger". The chart shows an analysis of IFCN Dairy Research Network from the 2024 supporter conference in Poland.
