Hungary offers Ukraine new export route

alternative routes are popping up, special fast rail to nearest free ports may be an idea so trains can run 24 hours

Hungary may be exporting grain from Ukraine abroad via its own territory. “We have offered to allow and facilitate the export of food by Hungary,” the Hungarian foreign minister said at a meeting with fellow EU ministers.

The minister mentioned two logistics hubs on the eastern border, but did not say how much grain could be exported via Hungary. Food exports are mainly intended for North Africa and the Middle East.

Since the beginning of the war, the main export route through the Black Sea has been closed by the Russians. Some of the grain is now exported via Romania and Poland. Ukraine is one of the largest exporters of grain and sunflower oil worldwide. As a result, food prices have skyrocketed worldwide.
