The European Business Association has called on the Ukrainian government to intensify diplomatic efforts with the Baltic countries and EU institutions to prevent an increase in exports of russian agricultural products through Baltic Sea ports.

This was reported by the European Business Association (EBA).

According to open-source data, due to difficulties in the operation of Black Sea and Sea of Azov ports, russian exporters may redirect supplies of grains, oilseeds and their processed products to ports in the Baltic region.

The EBA emphasises the risks of relabelling, mixing or concealing the origin of products, including those that may originate from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

The association notes that Ukraine and russia compete on global grain and oilseed markets, making it important to prevent the creation of logistics routes that would allow restrictions to be circumvented and increase competitive pressure on Ukrainian producers and exporters.

The EBA called on the government to immediately intensify consultations with countries in the Baltic region and EU institutions and to support initiatives aimed at strengthening controls over the transit of russian agricultural products.
