Agrovista agroholding supplies this year’s products via alternative routes via the Danube Corridor, the port of Constanta and land crossings.

The agreement provides for the abolition or reduction of customs duties on a significant part of goods, however, preferences for Ukrainian exports and Turkish imports will come into effect on different dates.

Giving priority in export logistics to oilseeds and processed products could lead to further grain accumulation in Ukraine and a drop in farmers’ incomes.

The Ukrainian rapeseed market remains active due to stable demand from Europe. But in the coming weeks, prices may be under pressure due to a correction in the European market.

Taras Vysotskyi and Christoph Hansen discussed support for Ukrainian farmers and integration into the EU agricultural policy.

Ukraine has proposed that the EU create a mechanism to support alternative logistics, as more than 30 million tons of agricultural products may remain unexported due to port restrictions.

The Romanian port of Constanta handled 8 million tons of cargo in two months, and only 550 thousand tons were Ukrainian grain.

During negotiations on cooperation in the agricultural sector, Ukraine and Azerbaijan separately emphasized the importance of stable trade across the Black Sea, since land routes cannot fully replace sea transportation.

Ukrainian cargoes rerouted through the Romanian port of Constanta are facing long delays in road delivery and customs clearance.
