The European Commission intends to create special trade routes between Poland and Ukraine, which will facilitate the transportation of agricultural products and live animals in both directions.

Green corridors for agricultural exports

This was stated by the European Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski, reports Railway Supply magazine.

Ukraine needs such “green corridors” because the traditional route for exporting agricultural products through the Black Sea ports is blocked by Russian warships.

“The European Commission is ready to organize such green corridors. I discussed this with the Prime Minister of Poland, and everything will be done to support Ukraine,” the official said.

The restoration of grain exports from Ukraine is very important to prevent a global food crisis.

According to the commissioner, the European Union used a similar mechanism at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, when some checks of goods were canceled in order to prevent food shortages.

The Polish European Commissioner said that Ukraine should become a full member of the EU.

“We must do everything possible to support Ukraine’s aspirations for the European Union to become part of the European community. This is very important for the security of Europe,” said Janusz Wojciechowski.

As previously reported, MIU promises farmers to provide logistics for the sowing campaign.

Work is also underway to organize the export of agricultural products.
