Investments in improving grain exports from Ukraine are estimated at 1 billion euros

In Brussels, Poland presented estimates of investments needed to increase grain exports from Ukraine across the Polish-Ukrainian border.

The total value of these investments is estimated at approximately 1 billion euros, writes Latifundist with reference to the Polish publication PAP. Andrzej Sados, Poland’s state representative to the EU, confirmed the information in an interview with PAP.

“For 1.5 years, we want to increase the transit of Ukrainian grain to third countries, especially to Africa. However, this requires investment and we reiterate our specific requests to the Commission for increased infrastructure capacity,” he told PAP.

In general, it is about the expansion of border terminals for large trucks (Dorogusk-Yagodzyn, Grebenne-Rava Ruska, Korchova-Krakowec) and railway infrastructure in Przemyśl. Poland considers these investments to be a priority.

The remaining more than 500 million euros will go to the modernization of railway border crossings between Poland and Ukraine, the construction of truck terminals and the construction of infrastructure for cargo traffic control at the border.
