In the port of Riga (Latvia), another grain storage facility will be put into operation.

The stevedore of the Port of Riga — WT Terminal — invested 2.6 million euros in the construction of a hangar for the storage and processing of grain cargoes. According to the company, it will increase the capacity of the terminal for storing grain and its products by 60%.

“Today, grain cargoes are in great demand, and Latvia has competences in their processing. Starting from June, shipments from Russia and Belarus stopped, and this is a challenge for us, but we found Ukrainian partners, which compensated for part of the former volumes,” said Andis Bunkshis, a member of the board of WT Terminal.

Also, in his opinion, no one today is able to forecast activities for the coming years, but “supply chains will find a way to adapt to the current order.”

As previously reported, Latvia offered Ukraine assistance with the export of grain through its ports.
