CHISINAU, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Moldova has taken steps to limit imports of grain from neighbouring Ukraine to protect local farmers, the Moldovan government said on Wednesday.

The government said any supplies of wheat, corn and sunflower seed would not be permitted without a special licence.

Ukraine is a major global grain grower and exporter but has faced difficulties with its exports since Russia invaded in February 2022.
