WARSAW (Reuters) - Farmers blocked Poland's Medyka border crossing with Ukraine on Saturday, news agency PAP reported, in protest over the trade deal between the European Union and Mercosur , which they say will reduce their competitiveness.

The farmers are also protesting because their demand for Poland to maintain the agricultural tax at the 2023 level in 2024 has not been met.
