Import of cheap grain from Ukraine threatens to destroy small and medium-sized farmers of Moldova, warned the local association "Farmers Power". According to the farmers, the supply of 200-300 thousand tons of grains and oil could eventually challenge local agriculture. The situation is worsened by rising diesel fuel prices, expensive logistics and higher tariffs for electricity and gas. At the same time, the Moldovan authorities decided to end the restrictions on grain imports from October 31, despite the farmers' demands to expand the protective measures. The farmers are preparing for demonstrations involving tractors, demanding that the government reconsider the decision.
