Ukraine has the technical capabilities to eliminate the threat of stopping the transit of agricultural products through the territory of Hungary by increasing the intensity of sea transportation and using the capacities of Danube ports, said Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Agri Council (UAC) Denys Marchuk.

"Statements about possibly halting exports through Hungary are a problem, but it’s solvable. Transit volumes through that country don’t exceed 700,000 tonnes per year, while we ship about 4.5-5 million tonnes monthly through sea corridors," he said on the national television marathon Tuesday.

Logistical threats from some neighboring countries are primarily politically motivated, while Ukraine has already established alternative routes, particularly toward Romania, Marchuk said.

Despite provocations and border blockades, demand for Ukrainian products on global markets — in the EU, Asia and Africa — remains stable, the expert said. This allows businesses to confidently plan the harvest campaign and continue export activities.

"Markets for us have remained unchanged for many years. The only question is price and competitive conditions, which are currently favorable for Ukrainian producers," the Ukrainian Agri Council deputy chairman said.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban threatened to halt transit of goods critical to Ukraine, including agricultural products, through Hungarian territory in response to the suspension of Russian oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline.
