    I don’t understand why the EU is not renewing the grain deal. While the right-wing PiS(s) party is completely overreacting, they do have a point. Cheap Ukrainian grain would flood the EU and destroy grain prices the already heavily subsidised farmers in the EU rely on. Not to mention that this cheap grain wouldn’t reach 3rd world countries then. I haven’t heard any argument at all why the EU grain deal couldn’t or shouldn’t be continued.

      Cheap grain never reached poor countries in the first place. Pretty much all of it ended up in Europe.
