The European Commission has extended the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain to Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The ban affects wheat, rapeseed, sunflower and corn. However, the list should be expanded to include oil, Iliya Prodanov, chairman of the National Association of Grain Producers, told BNT.

According to him, the quantities of oil from local producers are sufficient to satisfy the domestic market and the export market. According to Radostina Zhekova from the association, there is an increase in the import of oil from Ukraine. "Until recently 15-16 thousand tons were imported per month, now 10-12 thousand tons are imported per week," she told Euronews.
