In 2024, the cost of exporting grain cargo by rail in Ukraine decreased from $21.3/ton to $14-14.5/ton, Valery Tkachev, Deputy Director of Transportation Technology and Commercial Work Department at Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ), wrote on Facebook.
The main reason for the reduction in logistics costs, he said, was the reduction in the cost of using grain wagons.
“Over the course of the year, the cost of using grain wagons decreased from UAH 1688 per day to UAH 280-330 per day, a 5-5.5-fold reduction,” Tkachev emphasized.
According to him, as of November, UZ has a surplus of 5000-7000 grain cars.
