Spike Brokers, which regularly tracks and publishes export
statistics in Ukraine, said on the Telegram messaging app that
327,000 metric tons of agricultural goods were exported by truck
from Nov. 1-20, versus 345,000 tons in same period in October.
Polish truckers have blocked roads to three border crossings
with Ukraine to protest against what they see as government
inaction over a loss of business to foreign competitors since
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
"The passage of vehicles through customs checkpoints on the
border with Poland is continuing to decrease and totaled 3,700
tons of cargo per day, compared to the peak of 7,500 tons per
day a month earlier," Spike Brokers said.
It noted that traffic at border crossings with Romania, Hungary
and Moldova was stable.
Ukraine's government is expected to harvest 79 million tons of
grain and oilseed in 2023, with the 2023/24 exportable surplus
totaling about 50 million tons.
