Buckwheat from Poland is buckwheat from Russia. Scams in the food market in Ukraine

Buckwheat has been a staple in the diets of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus for centuries. Due to rising prices and insufficient harvests in Ukraine caused by the war, Russian grain is being sold under other countries' flags. The price of buckwheat in Ukraine has doubled, making it a luxury product. Russia has become the dominant exporter of buckwheat, while Ukraine has shifted to being a net importer. Russian buckwheat is significantly cheaper than in Ukraine, leading to its import under Kazakh or Polish labels. Additionally, Russian grain is reportedly being exported through Lithuania, despite the country's support for Ukraine. Lithuanian officials are calling for a halt to these shipments, as they contribute to funding the Russian military efforts against Ukraine. Russia is exploring various export routes, including a small port in Abkhazia for shipping grain to Turkey.
