Poland: building grain silos at Ukraine border would take months

Building grain silos at the Polish-Ukrainian border as proposed by US President Joe Biden to help channel the crop from Ukraine to global markets would take three to four months, Poland’s agriculture minister says.

“President Biden’s proposal is an interesting idea but it requires working out several details, including location, infrastructure, financing, ownership,” Henryk Kowalczyk said in a Facebook post. “We also have to realise that finalising this type of investment takes three-four months.”
