The Minister of Agricultural Policy discussed the transit of Ukrainian agricultural products with his Romanian counterpart

Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi held a regular online meeting with Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of Romania Florin-Ionuț Barbu.

The parties discussed cooperation in the agricultural sector between Ukraine and Romania.

Mykola Solskyi thanked his Romanian counterpart for the support in ensuring uninterrupted transit of Ukrainian agricultural products through Romania to European ports.

The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine stressed that Ukraine highly appreciated cooperation with Romania and, in particular, assistance in establishing transit routes.

As a reminder, Ukraine has not exported grain to Romania since the summer of 2023, after restrictions were imposed at the EU level. Grain crops are transited through Romania. In particular, 1.1 million tonnes were transported in January 2024, and 0.6 million tonnes in the first half of February.
