More than 430,000 tons of agricultural products were exported to Ukraine since the beginning of the year

Since the beginning of the year, 9 bulk carriers have shipped almost 433,000 tons of our products to countries in Africa and Asia.

For example, 28,000 tons of our grain was sent to Tunisia on the vessel HONORINE, and almost twice as much, 57,500 tons, on board the bulker VELVET, which is bound for Bangladesh.

Currently, almost 20 ships are waiting for loading in our ports, on which approximately 635 thousand tons of agricultural products will be loaded.

Currently, almost 95 vessels are awaiting inspection in the Bosphorus Strait, approximately 70 of which are empty, while others are filled with Ukrainian products. Russia systematically and purposefully slows down inspections. On average, the waiting line lasts almost a month, but the T-Med vessel, with grain on board, has been waiting since November last year.

Since the end of summer last year, almost 622 ships have left our ports, which in total transported almost 17 million tons of food.
