Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi held a regular online meeting with Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry of the Republic of Moldova Vladimir Bolea.
The parties discussed steps aimed at significantly increasing the volume of transportation of Ukrainian agricultural products by the Moldovan railway, including by reducing the tariff for such transportation.
In the coming weeks, the Ukrainian and Moldovan railways are expected to announce the agreements reached on the reduction of tariffs for rail transport through the territory of the Republic of Moldova to the ports of Reni, Giurgiulesti and Galati.
Such steps are aimed not only at increasing the volume of Ukrainian grain transportation, but also at relieving the strain on Romanian logistics infrastructure, which is especially important this season due to the expectations of a rich harvest in Romania and neighbouring countries.
Vladimir Bolea noted that Moldova was interested in fruitful cooperation with Ukraine in the interests of both countries.
Mykola Solskyi, in turn, thanked for the support and understanding. (Government portal/Business World Magazine)
