In February, 8 million tons of cargo were exported via the Ukrainian sea corridor, bringing the total export volume since the start of the grain corridor’s operation to 28 million tons.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine, Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure.
"The cargo turnover of the ports of Greater Odesa in the shortest month of the year amounted to 8 million tons, of which 5.2 million tons were the products of Ukrainian farmers. These are record export figures not only for the Ukrainian corridor, but also during the period of full-scale invasion," he said in a statement.
Kubrakov added that exports through Black Sea ports are gradually approaching pre-war levels. He added that the volume of exports since the start of the corridor's operation has reached 28 million tons, 19 million tons of which are grains and oilseeds. The cargo was sent to 42 countries.
"Today, more than 90% of all agricultural exports go through the ports of Greater Odesa and the Danube ports. Ukraine remains one of the key guarantors of food security. This is especially true for grain exports to Africa and Asia," Kubrakov said.
