During the 40th week of operation of the "grain corridor" (from May 1 to 7), 404,000 tons of agricultural products were exported through the sea ports of the Odesa Region, which is 10% less than a week earlier.
This is stated in the message of the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club Association (UCAB), Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"The number of ships that were loaded this week was only 11 units, the same as the previous week. These vessels are loaded, but they have not yet passed the necessary inspection to continue moving further to customers and are waiting for it. Unfortunately, this year's anti-record minimum shipments of the week updated due to the permanent blocking of the full-fledged operation of the "grain corridor," the message reads.
Wheat (41% of exports during this period), corn (40%), and sunflowerseed oil (13%) were mostly exported through the "grain corridor" last week.
Ukrainian products went to the countries of Europe (Spain and the Netherlands), Asia (Bangladesh, Turkey and China) and Africa (Tunisia and Morocco).
A total of 29.7 million tons of agricultural products were exported since the start of the "grain corridor" (from August 1, 2022 to May 7, 2023).
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Russia has blocked the registration and inspections of the fleet within the framework of the "grain initiative".
On March 18, the Vice Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine - the Minister of Development of Community, Territories and Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov announced that the "grain agreement" was extended for 120 days.
On August 5, the first caravan with Ukrainian grain left the sea ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk.
