Details: “These are mainly products from Ukrainian farmers for the world food markets. Despite everything, Ukraine remains a top exporter of agricultural products and a guarantor of food security. A total of 38 countries have received more than 30 million tonnes of Ukrainian agricultural products,” the statement said.
Another 108 vessels are on their way to the ports, exporting more than 3 million tonnes of goods.
Background:
