1 million 28 thousand tons of grain were transported in export traffic. This is 26.2% more than in September, but 51% less than in October last year.
The largest share of exported grain fell on the western border crossings – 683 thousand tons. 36 thousand tons were transported to the ports of Great Odesa, and the rest – to the ports of the Danube.
