The first ship with grain left the Odesa port

On Monday, August 1, the first ship left the Odesa port through the «grain corridor».

The RAZONI vessel has 26,000 tons of corn on board. It left the port of «Odesa» under the flag of Sierra Leone. Heading to the port of Tripoli in Lebanon.

This was announced by the Minister of Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov.

The cargo will move through a corridor whose safety has been confirmed by the UN and Turkey. It should be noted that the export of Ukrainian food from the port of Odesa has not taken place since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia on February 24.

According to Kubrakov, 16 more ships are already waiting for their turn in the ports of Odesa. They were blocked from February 24.

«Ukraine is the fourth largest exporter of corn in the world. Therefore, the possibility of exporting it through the ports is a colossal success for ensuring global food security. Unblocking the ports will provide at least $1 billion in foreign exchange earnings for the economy and the opportunity for the agricultural sector to plan next year’s sowing,» Kubrakov emphasized.
