lanes of solidarity

At the same time, more than 20 thousand wagons have already accumulated on the approaches to the border.

Only 3.77 thousand tons of grain were delivered to the ports of Great Odesa by rail in six days.

For Danube ports, the current volumes are already close to the limit, while the western border has a reserve.

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

As a result of the Russian Federation’s attacks on port infrastructure, about 83% of grain export shipments by rail fall on western border crossings.

The EU is monitoring the situation in the Black Sea and adapting the capacity of alternative routes through the Solidarity Lanes mechanisms.

Purchase prices for fodder corn for delivery in January-February are mostly announced within the range of €192–198/t FCA-Chop.

In the first 15 days of August, Ukraine exported only 641.9 thousand tons of agricultural products, and the projected export volume for the entire month is about 1.33 million tons.

At the same time, the largest alternative destination for Ukrainian agricultural products currently remains Romania.

Low water levels are forcing barges to take on fewer cargoes, and shipping on the Danube is becoming more expensive at a time when Ukraine is increasingly dependent on alternative export routes.
