Hungary will not renew the ban on honey import from Ukraine, despite protests from its farmers, who say cheap honey from Ukraine is getting down prices and threatening to put them out of business.

Agriculture Minister Istvan Nagy told the newspaper that the unilateral import ban did not have a positive effect on the Hungarian market, as wholesale purchase prices did not increase as much as local farmers had hoped.

At the same time, it harmed companies that package and export honey to EU countries. According to him, honey exporters need Ukrainian honey, because otherwise they will not be able to fulfill contractual deliveries.
