Latvia offers its ports for the export of Ukrainian grain

The Minister of Agriculture of Latvia, Didzis Shmitz, stated that the export of Ukrainian grain through Latvian ports is a possible scenario.

Didzis Schmitz shared this opinion after a meeting with Latvian President Edgars Rinkevičs, writes Economic Truth.

According to Shmitz, exporting through the Baltic Corridor is not an easy task, and delivering grain to Latvia will be a difficult challenge for logisticians, but it is not impossible.

He also noted that the capacities of the Baltic ports allow grain to be exported from Ukraine, and the main difficulty is the different width of railway tracks, but the cargo can be transferred from one train to another quite quickly.

“Of course, you need to calculate on a calculator. It is clear that it will be difficult and expensive, but if there are no other solutions, then the corridor through the Baltic states is such a solution,” the minister explained.
