Poland and Romania refused to increase transit of Ukrainian grain, — Politico
Romanian Agriculture
Minister Barna Tancoş said that excess volumes of Ukrainian grain, together
with low water levels on the Danube, are already overloading Romanian ports and
making it difficult for local farmers to sell their products. “The interests of
our own farmers remain a priority,” he said.
According to Tancoş, Romania continues to optimize logistics. In
September, Bucharest and Kyiv signed a memorandum on simplifying border
crossings and developing rail connections. At the same time, it is impossible
to quickly double the capacity of railways, roads and ports. Poland also does not plan additional
measures to increase transit. Anna Shumanska, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of
Infrastructure, told Politico that the agency “does not intend to make any
changes aimed at increasing the transit of Ukrainian agricultural
products.”
Recall that earlier, the Minister of
Agricultural Policy of Ukraine, Taras Vysotskyi, in Brussels, called
on EU countries to help expand alternative export routes and allocate €1.1
billion to compensate for additional logistics costs.
