Freight transport Poltava: region overview
Poltava is a central Ukrainian city with a rich industrial and agricultural base, occupying a strategic position at the intersection of transport routes between Kyiv, Kharkiv and the Dnipro. Poltava region is known for its oil and gas production complex, developed agriculture, food industry and engineering. These industries form a stable and diverse cargo flow throughout the year. The oil and gas production industry is a unique feature of Poltava Oblast. Natural gas and oil deposits belonging to the Dnipro-Donetsk oil and gas-bearing province are concentrated here. The companies "Ukrgazvydobuvannya", "Poltavagasvydobuvannya" and other oil service enterprises generate a specific demand for the transportation of drilling equipment, pipes, chemical reagents and fuel.

The agricultural sector of the Poltava region is one of the most powerful in Ukraine. Black earth soils provide high yields of wheat, corn, sunflower, sugar beet and soybeans. The region is home to well-known agricultural holdings that cultivate tens of thousands of hectares of land. During the harvest season, the demand for grain transportation increases several times — grain is delivered to elevators, processing plants and further to ports for export.

"Poltava Dairy Plant", "Poltava Meat Plant" and other enterprises need regular transportation - refrigerators for dairy and meat products, awning cars for packaged goods.
