The war in Ukraine has a huge impact on the agricultural markets worldwide. Not only is it difficult to sow the crops in Ukraine such as corn, wheat and oat, it is currently also not possible to export via the Black Sea harbours. According to recent data of the UN around 25 million tons of grain are stuck in Ukraine.

In our Knowledge Circle Agri we look at how big the impact is for Poland. We will discuss with experts the current situation on the grain and feed market in Poland and possible consequences for the meat sector as well as the disruption on the market of fertilizers. What does this mean for Poland?

During our program we will answer crucial questions, such as:
•    How much is the Polish agrifood sector depending on Ukraine and how is this being mitigated.
•    What is the impact in Poland on the prices for consumers and horeca industry.
•    What are the specific characteristics of the Polish agrifood production and which elements are hit the hardest.
•    What are the consequences for the feed and therefore livestock sector in Poland.
•    Can Poland play a role in solving the logistic issues for grain supply from Ukraine.
