In October 2024, the railways of Ukraine achieved significant success in the transportation of grain cargoes, transporting 3 million 529 thousand tons. This information was announced during an online meeting of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" representatives with farmers, as reported by "ProAgro Group" publication with reference to Rail.insider.

Noting the results of transportation, the deputy director of the department of transportation technology and commercial work of "Ukrzaliznytsia" Valery Tkachov said that the volume of cargo in October increased by 29% compared to September of this year. Compared to October 2023, the increase was an impressive 48%.

The data on export transportation are particularly revealing: in October, 2 million 970 thousand tons of grain were transported by rail. This indicator is 30% higher than in September and 80% more than in October last year.

Most of the exported grains, namely 2 million 577 thousand tons, were sent to ports, which is 87% of the total volume of transportation. Another 393,000 tons (13%) were exported through western border crossings.

The growth of grain transportation volumes is an important indicator for the Ukrainian economy, especially in the context of the agricultural sector. This sector is one of the main sources of income for the country and efficient logistics play a key role in ensuring timely deliveries to international markets.

Thus, railway transport continues to be an important factor in the development of the agricultural infrastructure of Ukraine, supporting exporters and providing them with the necessary resources for successful activity.
