According to Shilo, the company is taking certain steps to increase grain carriages: "For example, a 38% discount is provided for the transportation of grain exported over short distances (up to 400 km) in the direction of the Caspian and Azov-Black Sea basins, as well as 50% for the transportation of grain through the Samur border point (Russia–Azerbaijan border)."
