Hungary farm minister: EU will have to take joint action on Ukraine grain imports

Hungary will use "all possible means" to protect its farmers from market disruptions caused by huge grain imports from Ukraine, and a joint European Union response is "unavoidable", Farm Minister Istvan Nagy said on Monday.

Poland and Hungary announced bans on grain and other food imports from Ukraine on Saturday to protect their local agricultural sectors, drawing a warning from the EU's executive. The countries are part of a group that have sought to have bloc-wide tariffs on imports as part of possible measures.
