A “dry port” for grain exports to Europe will be built in the village of Horonda, Mukachevo district, Zakarpattia region, the press service of the Zakarpattia Regional State Administration reported on Facebook.
“A multimodal logistics hub for grain exports to the EU will appear in Zakarpattia. We are working with Italian investors to implement the Horonda Platform project in the village of Horonda, Mukachevo district,” said Viktor Mykyta, head of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration.
According to him, the project provides for the creation of opportunities for transshipment of agricultural products from a wide to a narrow road, the emergence of storage facilities, and the provision of a center with containers for grain, sunflower oil, etc. Horonda Platform is expected to create more than 200 new jobs in the Zakarpattia region.
“The emergence of such a land grain corridor in our region is a priority task of national importance. This project is especially important in times of war. We are grateful for the great trust of the country’s leadership and international investors,” emphasized Mykyta.
Representatives of the Italian companies involved in the project, including FS Holding, Mercitalia Rail, and Mercitalia Terminal, emphasized that they are interested in strengthening communication with the Ukrainian side, including Zakarpattia, in socio-economic, legal, and other aspects.
