    This is a really frustrating story:

    Earlier in July, Polish farmers called for a ban on frozen raspberries import from Ukraine, saying that their influx could destabilize the market prices in the country.

    This already after:

    On May 2, the European Commission banned the sale of Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed, and sunflower seed in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia until June 5 in a bid to “alleviate logistical bottlenecks,” but allowed their circulation in other European markets. The ban was later extended until September 15.

    Disclaimer: I’m not an economist, so I don’t know how much this affects export prices.
