According to CCTV News, on July 2nd, local time, Ukraine Agricultural Policy and Minister of Food Soliski said that Ukraine plans to export about 2 million tons of grain on the new western border route in July. The route includes transit Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia, and the transportation volume is expected to continue to increase in the future.
It is understood that both Russia and Ukraine are big exports of agricultural products, and the upgrade of Russia -Ukraine's conflict has caused concerns about lack of food supply in the global market. How to restore the topic of Ukraine's grain exports is widespread attention. Ukrainian government officials said on June 12 that Ukraine has established two channel export grains via Poland and Romania, but they are currently encountered "bottlenecks" and the supply chain operation is not ideal.

Ukraine claims to be killed in the export of grains through Poland and Romania
Ukraine Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitro Senik said that due to the blocking route, Ukraine has established two grain export channels via Poland and Romania, but the transportation conditions are not ideal enough. It is mainly railway transportation through the Polish channel, but the two countries are different. Grain transportation must be changed at the border between the two countries, and the relevant storage and transportation facilities at the border are insufficient. To the port along the Danube River, and then shipped to the Black Sea by refuting the ship, the process is complex and costs high. Senik said Ukraine is discussing the third grain export channel with the Baltic countries.
Ukraine is a large country of corn and wheat exports, known as "European granary". The upgrade of the Russian -Ukraine conflict has caused concerns about the lack of food supply in the global market. Ukraine has accused Russia of blocking the Ukrainian Black Sea Port to prevent food from exporting food. Russia denied the interference of Ukraine's exports and accused Ufang of setting up a mine in the Black Sea to endanger sailing safety.
There are four main routes for Ukraine food exports
Russia and Ukraine are the world's major grain exporters. Total wheat exports of the two countries account for about 30%of the world, about 20%of corn, and about 76%of sunflower seed oil. Among them, the food exports of Ukraine from 2020 to 2021 exceeded 44 million tons.

There are four traditional routes in Ukraine's grain exports: in terms of sea transportation, the two routes are mainly through the Berljiang Sikh and Marwopol Port of Maliwol, as well as the Port of Odessa in the Black Sea. At present, the Buer Jiangsk and Marwol Port in the Ace Sea have been controlled by Russia, and the Port of Odessa in the Black Sea has also been blocked by Russia. Russia has identified Ukraine to set up a large amount of mines in the Black Sea waters to endanger navigation safety.

In addition to sea transport, there are two land on the export of Ukraine: First, the Railway passes through the Polish. However, due to different factors such as the railway track between the two parties, the entire process has spent a long time and expensive costs, which greatly restricts grain exports. Data show that in April, Ukraine exported only 638,000 tons of food exported to this route.
Another railway through Belarus. Earlier, Russian President Putin said that Ukraine's grains were the most convenient way to export Belarus, but the premise of doing this was that Western countries lifted sanctions against Belarus. Ukrainian President Zelei said that Ukraine is not ready to export food through Belarus.

In addition, officials of the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine disclosed in May that due to the continued influence of Russia and Ukraine's conflict, Ukraine is now stepping up railway, highway and Danube shipping, and transporting food to neighboring countries first, and then exporting to more countries. However, compared with the Black Sea Shipping, the transportation power gap is obvious.
