The Polish Minister of Agriculture announced on Tuesday that Poland and Ukraine had reached an agreement to resume the transfer of Ukrainian grain through this country after it was suspended on Saturday.

"We have been able to put in place mechanisms to ensure that not a single ton of wheat remains in Poland and that goods pass through Poland," starting next Saturday , Robert Tellos said, at the conclusion of a meeting with Ukrainian officials.

Ukrainian grain transportation through Poland is supposed to resume in the coming days, according to both sides.

"We treat the problems of our Polish colleagues with the same concern that Poland treats our own. That is why we must act quickly and constructively with this difficult situation," Ukrainian Economic Development Minister Yulia Sviridenko told reporters.

The Polish minister noted that the transportation of Ukrainian grain through Poland will be monitored through the Global Positioning System (GPS).

In an effort to protect its farmers, Poland decided on Saturday to ban the import of grain and other agricultural products without consulting Kiev or the European Commission, which exposed it to criticism from both sides.

Ukrainian grain exported to third countries passes through the European Union since the traditional export route through the Black Sea was closed due to the Russian invasion.

However, contrary to the initial plans, which stipulated only the transit of these grains, stocks of these grains accumulated in Poland, which led to a decline in domestic prices, and sparked protests by farmers and the resignation of the former Polish Minister of Agriculture.

Hungary and Slovakia recently took similar steps by banning the introduction of Ukrainian grain.
