During the week from April 24 to 30, 450.3 thousand tons of food was exported through the sea ports of Great Odesa, and the number of loaded ships fell to a minimum for this year.
It is reported press service Ukrainian Club of Agrarian Business.
Last week, Ukraine exported 450.3 thousand tons of agricultural products by sea – this is 31% less than a week earlier.
At the same time, the number of ships that were loaded this week was only 11 units, which is 4 ships less than the previous week. This is the lowest rate of weekly shipments for this year, the UKAB notes.
Wheat accounted for more than half (52%) of exports for the week, corn for another 43%, and sunflower oil for 4%. Among the main destinations were the countries of Europe (Spain and the Netherlands), Asia (China and Turkey) and Africa (Kenya, Egypt, Ethiopia and others).
Currently, the “grain corridor” cannot fully operate due to the Russian side blocking the inspection of vessels. Vessels are not inspected every day, sometimes representatives of the Russian Federation do not confirm a single vessel from the list agreed with the UN and Turkey.
A total of 29.3 million tons of products of the agricultural complex were exported from August 1 last year to April 30, 2023.
