The Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta is trying to adjust to the growing influx of grain from the Ukraine, diverted from their traditional export routes for the Russian invasion.
The pressure on Romanian infrastructures since Russia withdrew last month from the agreement that allowed Ukraine to export grains through the Black Sea has increased in recent days in road transport, due to the shelling of Ukrainian river ports on the Danube.
“70% of the cereals reach us by barge on the river,” he explained to AFP Dan Dolgindirector of Comvex, one of the companies that receives the Ukrainian merchandise in this Romanian city to load it on the ships.
On July 17, Russia put an end to the international agreement signed under the auspices of the UN and Turkey that allowed the export by sea of 33 million tons of Ukrainian cereals and grain.
Since then, Moscow systematically attacks the neuralgic points that still allow Ukraine to export its crops with a dropper.
