SMOLEVICHI DISTRICT, 4 June (BelTA) – It is important to continue the construction of agricultural hubs and trade and logistics centers along the route of the Eurasian Agroexpress project, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said during the plenary session "Food Security of the Eurasian Economic Union", BelTA has learned.
"To ensure food security, the EAEU needs effective logistics and modern transport corridors. This is important for reducing the costs of cargo operators, fast delivery of products, primarily through the seamless digitalization of the entire process of cross-border movement of goods. The joint project Eurasian Agroexpress also addresses this task. It has accelerated the transportation of agricultural products and helps to increase EAEU exports to other countries, including Uzbekistan, China, India," Mikhail Mishustin said.
