EBA urges action to curb Russian grain exports through Baltic ports
The European Business Association has urged the Ukrainian government to pressure Baltic states to restrict Russian grain exports through their ports. They fear that these routes allow Russia to bypass sanctions and compete unfairly with Ukrainian agricultural products.
Why it matters
This highlights the ongoing economic warfare and logistical challenges facing Ukraine's agricultural sector amidst the broader conflict with Russia.
The European Business Association (EBA) has called on the Ukrainian government to step up diplomatic engagement with the Baltic states and EU institutions to prevent further expansion of Russian agricultural exports through Baltic Sea ports.
According to the EBA, disruptions affecting Black Sea and Azov Sea ports could push Russian exporters to redirect more grain, oilseeds and processed agricultural products toward Baltic routes for onward shipment to global markets.
