Why can’t the grain be shipped thru Poland & Romania?
“Why can’t the grain be shipped thru Poland & Romania?”
Some of it can, but Ukraine exports about 16 million tons of grain each year. Poland and Romania combine for about 5 million.
Their ports were never designed to handle the capacity that Ukraine generates.
Probably can but it’s much cheaper to move by ship than rail. And transportation costs and market prices dictate whether or not it’s feasible.
Nobody wants to get stuck with tons of perishable products on their hands.
