The news this evening is the French Farming leaders are demanding that all produce imported from Ukraine must be stopped completely. They say it is not up to the same standard has French produce and Ukrainian produce is undercutting their own, whether it be poultry or cereals. All EU member states have specific EU regulations and standards, whereas, Ukraine doesn't.
Also the sheer volumes and lower quality is destabilising the European market. They believe that French farming is being sacrificed on the altar of war, because it is helping to fund the Ukrainian war. Hence there are many reasons why the farmers have had enough and refuse to budge.
It doesn't sound like the French farmers would be very welcoming to Ukraine joining the EU.
