The European Union agreed Friday to exempt Ukrainian crops from tariffs for another year. The tentative deal is welcome news for Ukraine’s battered agricultural industry. But more troubles await as Vladimir Putin continues to disrupt the global food supply.
The EU lifted the tariffs last year as Russia captured Ukrainian port cities and began a blockade of the Black Sea. The relief was intended to facilitate the export of Ukrainian grain by land, but farmers in several Eastern European countries are upset that the influx drove down prices of their own crops.
