      My understanding is that Poland and the other bordering countries – also grain producers – are okay with being transit countries for grain being shipped through the EU, but object to having the grain being sold in the EU.

        To be precise, they are OK with the grain being sold to Spain and other Western Europe countries, but object to having the grain being sold in Poland and other bordering countries.

          Ah, I think you’re right, though I’m surprised how hard it is to get clarity on this online.
