Polish claims are unfair: only 5% of our agricultural exports go through Poland – Ukraine’s infrastructure minister
Pravda Ukraine
In January 2024, the majority of exports of agricultural products from Ukraine – 6.7 million tonnes – were carried out by sea. Only 370,000 tonnes, or 5% of the total, went through Poland.
Source: a statement from the press service of the Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure, citing Oleksandr Kubrakov, Minister of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development.
Quote from the statement: “This shows that the claims made by Polish agricultural associations about their market being oversaturated are unfair.”
Dialogue between Ukraine and Poland is ongoing at all levels, the ministry added.
