During the 45th week of operation of the 'grain corridor' (June 5-11), 651,000 tons of agricultural products were exported through the seaports of the Odesa Region, up 65% week over week.
This follows from a statement by the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club association, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"The number of vessels loaded this week was 13 units, six more than the previous week. These vessels are loaded but have not yet passed the necessary inspection to continue moving further to customers and are waiting for it. However, it is worth considering that such weekly shipment figures remain below the average for the history of the 'grain corridor.' In addition, only seven vessels passed the inspection at the entrance last week, which is a critically low indicator," the report says.
Corn (54% of exports during this period), wheat (38%), and sunflower oil (7%) were mainly exported via the 'grain corridor' last week.
Ukrainian products went to the countries of Asia (Israel, Bangladesh, China, and others), Africa (Egypt, Kenya), and Europe (Spain).
31.6 million tons of agricultural products have been exported since the beginning of the 'grain corridor' (from August 1, 2022, to June 11, 2023).
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on May 17, Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine/Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure, Oleksandr Kubrakov, announced that the 'grain agreement' has been unblocked, and it will continue to operate until July 18.
On August 5, the first caravan with Ukrainian grain left the seaports of Odesa and Chornomorsk.
