“The whole chain goes through various transport interconnections: in addition to railways, this process also involves ports. It’s possible to transport freight, but the price is very important. Bigger freight flows would ensure a better price, they would also make it possible to invest in the development of the required infrastructure,” Stasys Dailydka, CEO of Lithuania’s railway operator Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai (Lithuanian Railways), told the daily.

Meanwhile, Stasys Gudvalis, director of the Freight Transportation Directorate at Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai, is sure that the railway route to Asia skirting Russia should be the most attractive to the companies transporting food. Other goods would be transported via Russia as that route was shorter and cheaper, he said.
