Márton Nobilis saw the inspection of the corn shipment from a neighboring country – carried out by the experts of the National Food Chain Safety Office and the National Tax and Customs Office – and then said that after the sampling of the shipment, the truck will be sealed and will continue its journey through Hungary to its destination. . The journey of all trucks with such loads is monitored through the Electronic Road Goods Traffic Control System, and their journey is also followed by weight checks. Through this they will see if a shipment has left the country; if not, they will find where it was unloaded and check it there – explained Márton Nobilis. The state secretary reminded that the Hungarian government has decided that – following the Polish example – it will not allow the import of Ukrainian grain or other agricultural products. “Our goal is to protect Hungarian farmers from Ukrainian grain flooding Hungarian agriculture and causing damage to Hungarian farmers,” said the politician. He added that the Ministry of Agriculture is working to extend the ban to other Ukrainian foods in the future. In response to MTI’s question, the state secretary said that compared to previous years, Ukrainian grain imports to Hungary have now increased tenfold.
