Ukraine announced details of grain exports

According to the Fars International Economic Group, after Russia, Ukraine, the United Nations and Turkey signed an agreement on the export of grain, food and chemical fertilizers from Ukrainian ports on Friday, Yuri Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Vaskov told “Economic Terrace” newspaper that KY plans to export about 3 million tons of wheat and other agricultural products every month through Black Sea ports.

He added: “If we talk about volume, this volume can be 3 million tons or more per month. We will do it gradually and in a few weeks, we can talk about a more precise volume. But we see that 3 million tons or more is possible.”

This Ukrainian official said in a separate interview with “Forbes” that the first ship carrying grain will be ready to leave Ukraine in the next 4 days, and at the same time, all 3 ports “Odessa“, “Chernomorsk” and ” Eugenie» They will be fully operational within 3 weeks.

The Ukrainian Navy and Coast Guard will escort ships to prevent them from entering mined waters, as only part of the ports will be cleared of mines.

As part of the agreement, the United Nations has pledged to remove barriers to Russian food and chemical fertilizer exports that are currently blocked by sanctions at the country’s Black Sea ports.

Ukraine’s shipments from the Black Sea, the fifth-largest producer of grain, were halted after a military conflict with Russia.

KIF and Western officials accused Russia of deliberately preventing the shipment of these cargoes, but Moscow has repeatedly stated that Ukraine has made it impossible to ship these cargoes by laying mines around the waterways around the ports.

On Friday, Russia and Ukraine signed an agreement to resume Ukrainian grain exports from the Black Sea with Turkey and the United Nations as guarantors.

Sergey ShoiguOn Friday evening, the Minister of Defense of Russia signed the grain export agreement with his Turkish counterpart under the supervision of the Secretary General of the United Nations.

An hour earlier, this agreement was signed by the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the Minister of Defense of Turkey and the Secretary General of the United Nations.

This agreement was reached after the general agreement between the parties led by the United Nations during the July 13 negotiations in Istanbul to establish a coordination center to conduct joint inspections at the entry and exit points of the ports and ensure the safety of the routes.

Ukraine is one of the major producers of agricultural products, which cannot export its grain since the conflict with Russia, and about 22 to 25 million tons of grain are currently stuck in the country’s ports.

Russia and Ukraine supply almost a third of the world’s wheat, while Russia is the main exporter of chemical fertilizers and Ukraine is the world’s largest exporter of corn and sunflower oil.
