The de-occupation of Kherson opens up the possibility of exporting grain from the ports of Mykolaiv.
“The distance from Kherson to Mykolaiv is about 60 kilometers. Therefore, the prospect of shipping grain from this port is absolutely real. At most, in the new Grain Agreement currently being discussed in Turkey, Mykolaiv is also specified as a port for exporting products,” Mykola Gorbachev, president of the “Ukrainian Grain Association”, shared in an interview with NV.
Gorbachev recalled that, before the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian farmers shipped about 25-30% of all exports through the Mykolaiv port.
“For the last two months, Ukraine has been exporting four million tons of grain per month. An additional 2-2.5 million tons could be shipped from Mykolaiv. Before the war, our exports amounted to 6-7 million tons per month,” the expert added.
As USM reported earlier, construction companies are invited to Mykolaiv to restore ports.
