The work of the "grain agreement" slowed down due to the actions of the Russian Federation

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine reported that during the past week, only two or three vessels left Ukrainian ports per day. This is the lowest indicator for half a year of operation of the "Grain Corridor".

The main reason for the decline in ship loading rates is the artificial obstruction of the "grain initiative" by Russian inspectors.

"Over the past seven days, within the framework of the "grain agreement", Ukraine has sent 871,000 tons of agricultural products. Corn — 387,000 tons, wheat — 287,000 tons," the department calculated. ‎

In particular, the fourth vessel under the "Grain from Ukraine" initiative left the port of Chornomorsk. The bulk carrier "Amira Hana" will deliver 30,000 tons of wheat to the port of Djibouti, and from there Ukrainian grain will be sent to Ethiopia. In total, Ukraine has already delivered 238,000 tons of wheat to Ethiopia, which is on the brink of famine.

It should be noted that 673 ships with 18.4 million tons of Ukrainian agricultural products have already passed through the "grain corridor".
