Ukrainian industry groups have revealed that exports of grain and other products from Ukraine, which have been severely affected by Russia's military invasion, are recovering to pre-military invasion levels as a result of strengthened defenses along the Black Sea shipping route. I made it.
Grain exports from Ukraine, known as one of the world's leading grain exporters, have been restricted through the Black Sea after Russia's military invasion, which has had a serious impact on the world's food supply.
Ahead of the two-year anniversary in February of the start of the military invasion, on the 30th, the industry group ``Ukrainian Grain Association'' held a press conference in the capital, Kyiv, stating that the amount of grain exported in December last year amounted to approximately 5.98 million tons. revealed.
This is the highest amount since Russia suspended its implementation of an agreement regarding exports through the Black Sea in July last year, and it means that overall export volume is recovering to the level before the military invasion.
The Ukrainian Grain Association points out that the reason for this is that defenses have been strengthened on the western side of the Black Sea, which is the export route.
On the other hand, approximately 40% of grain exported from Ukraine is exported to Asia via the Red Sea, as Yemen's Houthi rebels have repeatedly attacked ships in the Red Sea and other areas. There are also concerns about stable exports going forward.
Agriculture and Food Minister Solisky, who was present at the press conference, said, ``Export volumes will likely decrease this month due to the problems in the Red Sea.Like other countries, we will wait for the situation to settle down.''
