“In January-August 2022, exports of domestic grain decreased against last year’s figures for the corresponding period by 25% and amounted to 20.2 million tons, while the value volumes of supplies decreased by 18% – to 5217 million US dollars. U.S.,” the message reads.
Details
For eight months, 4.1 million tons of wheat (1.2 billion US dollars), corn – 15.1 million tons (3.8 billion US dollars), barley – 0.8 million tons (0.2 billion US dollars) were sold abroad.
Recall
On July 22, Ukraine, the UN, Turkey and Russia signed an agreement (Ukraine and Russia separately) on the safe passage of ships through Ukrainian ports (Odesa, Chornomorsk, Yuzhny), which were blocked after the Russian invasion on February 24.
Ukraine is a major grain exporter, so the blockade of ports has delayed tens of millions of tons of grain in the country. The first vessel with grain within the framework of the agreement left the port of Odessa on August 1. The first vessel for loading entered the port of Odessa region on August 6.
