The European Commission will ban Ukrainian grain and oilseeds exports to Romania until June 5, Romanian Agriculture Minister Petre Daea said on Wednesday.
Romania has stopped short of enforcing a ban, whereas Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Slovakia took unilateral steps to protect local markets from a flow of Ukrainian farm products.
With access to its own Black Sea ports blocked and later limited by Russia's invasion, Ukraine, one of the world’s leading grain exporters has had to find alternative shipping routes through neighbouring states.
