Ukrainian grain floods market, triggers protests in neighboring countries.

Polish farmers are angry over falling grain prices due to the market glut from the inflow of huge amounts of Ukrainian produce that was supposed to go to Africa and the Middle East. Poland and other countries in the region have offered to help transit Ukraine grain to third country markets after Russia blocked traditional routes when it invaded Ukraine 13 months ago. The European Union has waived customs duties and import quotas to facilitate the transport, but farmers in transit countries say the promised out-channels are not working as planned. Poland's agriculture minister promised financial support from the government and the European Union and easier rules for constructing grain storage as he met with farmers.
