“Its length will be 600 kilometers and capacity – up to 2 million tonnes of [vegetable] oil annually. The pipeline is expected to run from Volyn Region’s Yahodyn to Gdańsk,” Solskyi told.
In his words, the cost of construction works will be announced within the next two months. The final sum will greatly depend on a certain route and landscape, as well as approval documents.
According to Solskyi, there are different financing options for the vegetable oil pipeline. In September, EU Ministers for Agriculture will meet in Brussels, and this issue will be raised. Solskyi added it should be multisource financing.
