Danube ports and ground commute can satisfy only half of the needs of Ukrainian farmers – agricultural market expert

Therefore, it cannot become an alternative to the “grain corridor”. Pavlo Koval, general director of the Agrarian Confederation of Ukraine, made the statement at a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine – Odesa.

“Rail transportation is limited by European partners. If everything works perfectly, we can transport 2 million tons of agricultural products this way. One more can be transferred through the Danube ports. Road transport gives us about 400-500 thousand tons. That’s two-three million tons overall. And we need 6 million tons,” – Pavlo Koval said.

He added that before the war, there were 17 seaports in Ukraine, and now there are only 3.
