French Transport Minister Clément Beaune said he would sign an agreement with Romania that would allow Ukraine to send more grain to Europe and developing countries.
French Transport Minister Clément Beaune said he will sign an agreement with Romania to help increase the export of Ukrainian grains to developing countries, including the Mediterranean. Reuters writes about it.
“Ukraine’s grain exports have fallen since the start of the war because its Black Sea ports, a key supply route, have been closed for long periods, pushing up global food prices and raising fears to shortages in Africa and the Middle East. Romania, the second largest exporter of wheat to the EU to countries outside the EU, including Egypt, after France and the largest exporter of corn, is one of the alternative routes for -export of Ukrainian grain,” the agency said.
French Transport Minister Clément Beaune said he would sign an agreement with Romania that would allow Ukraine to supply more grain to Europe and developing countries, including the Mediterranean, that need its food.
According to the minister, the agreement covers exports through land, sea and river transport.
According to the draft agreement, Paris will invest in the development of a project aimed at improving the efficiency of the port of Galați, equipping border posts in northern Romania, maximizing the use of grain containers located in the port of Constanta, as well as increasing throughput in the port of Constanta and through the Sulina Sea Canal.
It will also help develop a medium-term strategy for the export corridor between Romania and Ukraine and ensure the optimization of vessel traffic with Ukrainian grain.
Recall, earlier it was reported that nine ships with agricultural products left the ports of Ukraine on Monday, September 12. Ships with 163.8 thousand tons of agricultural products are sent to countries in Asia and Europe.
