The Supreme Audit Chamber of Poland has completed an investigation into the uncontrolled import of grain from Ukraine.

The cause of the “grain crisis” was the inefficient actions and decisions of the Polish government. “Implementation of tasks related to the import and trade of grain and rapeseed from Ukraine was not reliable and effective,” the report states.

The document provides data on the dynamics of the growth of agricultural product imports from Ukraine during the reporting period. 2022 grain imports by almost 169 times compared to 2021 (an increase from 3,100 tons in 2021 to 523,000 tons in 2022). Corn imports increased almost 300 times (from 6,200 tons to 1.85 million tons), rapeseed increased almost eight times (from 86,000 tons to 662,000 tons).

The inspection’s results show that the Minister of Agriculture’s assessment of the situation was incorrect and was not supported by data and analysis that would allow for the further development of the situation. The report also says the government’s actions to protect the Polish grain market came too late.
