KYIV, Jan 25 – Over the past three months, there has been positive dynamics in increasing export transportation of agricultural products across the Black Sea, which has helped Ukraine reduce pressure and reduce grain exports to the European Union, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Mykola Solsky said in a comment to the Interfax-Ukraine agency on Thursday.

“It has been like this (positive dynamics of transportation of agricultural products by sea) for the second, even third month already ... Our sea has been doing well since the fall. For example, in December, out of 7.3 million tons of agricultural products, approximately 5 million tons were exported by sea, more than 1 million tons - along the Danube, and the rest - through the western borders," he said and clarified that we are talking about the export of grain, sunflower oil and meal.
