More than 17 million tons of agricultural products have already been sent to the ports of Great Odesa

On January 7-9, 5 ships exported 158.5 thousand tons of Ukrainian food from the ports of Great Odesa.

The ships include the bulk carrier TRUE HARMONY with 26,000 tons of agricultural products for Egypt and the bulk carrier LEO 1 with 49,500 tons of wheat for Sri Lanka, the USPA press service notes.

In the Bosphorus, 98 ships are waiting in line for inspection (21 already with food on board, and 77 – those that are about to be loaded). Most of these vessels have been standing in the Bosphorus since last year due to the purposeful inhibition of inspections by the russians.

“This leads to a decrease in the volume of Ukrainian food to countries that need it, as well as to millions of losses for cargo owners,” USPA noted.
