In general, within the framework of the “Grain Agreement” it was possible to export one million tons of grain to Egypt.
On Thursday, March 30, six ships with Ukrainian food left the ports of Great Odesa. Among them is the bulk carrier Serenity Ibtihaj with 27,000 tons of wheat for Egypt, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine reports.
Since the start of the “grain corridor”, 44 ships have exported one million tons of Ukrainian agricultural products to Egypt.
“Since Egypt is going through a financial crisis, the country depends on a systematic supply of grain and a stable price. These needs are able to be provided by the planned “Grain Initiative”. At the last tender, Egypt purchased another new batch of Ukrainian wheat in the amount of 120,000 tons. It will be sent next month,” the ministry said.
At the same time, 89 ships with grain are waiting for inspection in the territorial waters of Turkey.
