a Lot of freight forwarding companies, producers and exporters already invest in their own grain-cars to increase the efficiency of transportation of goods for export. But Railways could not provide diesel traction supply wagons, leading to downtime of own or leased wagons. And when the traders and transport operators reported a willingness to purchase their own locomotives, the head of Railways said that it would deprive the revenue of the company's monopoly.

 

Yesterday at a working session of the Committee on agrarian policy and land relations, a number of people's deputies and leaders of professional associations expressed concern about the state of things that occur in logistics and is caused, in particular, the activities of the monopolist in the field of transportation of "Ukrzaliznytsia".

In addition, he asked the deputies whether they have more tools of influence on the Executive bodies and the management of state monopolies?

 

the Previous solution of meeting of 4 committees of Parliament and the representatives of major professional associations was prepared and sent a letter to the Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and the President of Petro Poroshenko. The book describes in detail the state of Affairs in regard to infrastructure ensure transportation of agricultural goods and formulated the requirement of holding meetings of the management "Ukrzaliznytsi" with representatives of agricultural associations, the leadership of the Ministry of agrarian policy, Ministry of infrastructure and the people's deputies under the chairmanship of the head of the government. But this offer was ignored.

 

the Last point in the unprofessional attitude of "Ukrzaliznytsya" to the problems articulated by the farmers, was the proposal to raise tariffs on railway transportation most agricultural goods. In particular, the tariff for the use of grain Ukrzaliznytsia proposes to increase by 48%. But such actions will lead to economic losses, particularly in medium and small producers.
