Hungary could extend its import ban on Ukrainian grains beyond the current June 30 deadline if the EU does not take sufficient action to protect Hungarian farmers, Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture state secretary Sandor Farkas said on Monday.

Poland and Hungary announced bans on grain and other food imports from Ukraine on Saturday to protect their local agricultural sectors, drawing a warning from the EU's executive.
