export

It is increasingly difficult for Ukraine to maintain its share in the world market of agricultural products. After withdrawing from the Grain Agreement and shelling the Ukrainian port infrastructure, Russia began dumping the grain market.

During July, Ukraine exported 3.7 million tons of agricultural products, which is 29% less than a month ago.

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

Ukraine and Croatia agreed on the export of Ukrainian grain, which was complicated after Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

The beginning and subsequent course of a full-scale war became a test for Ukraine that touched all spheres. It affected the economy almost the most. The export of Ukrainian goods looks like one of the ways to overcome the crisis, but at the same time it requires endurance, flexibility of thinking and adaptability from entrepreneurs. Blockade of ports, destruction of infrastructure, restructuring of supply chains – this is far from a complete list of what Ukrainian companies are facing.

Exporters of Ukrainian grain prefer not the port of Klaipeda (Lithuania), but the terminals in the Danube region.

The European Commission does not have enough money in the budget to help with the export of Ukrainian agricultural products.

Greece and Bulgaria are currently discussing the possibility of increasing the transit of Ukrainian grain by rail.

The Baltic countries offered their infrastructure, including port infrastructure, to support the export of Ukrainian agricultural products.
