During the almost nine months of operation of the Ukrainian Sea Corridor, about 1,600 vessels passed through it. These vessels transported 45 million tons of cargo from the ports of Greater Odessa, mainly agricultural products from Ukrainian farmers destined for global food markets.
More than 30 million tons of Ukrainian agricultural products have been delivered to 38 countries around the world. At the same time, there are another 108 ships near Ukrainian ports waiting to load more than 3 million tons of products for further export.
Important! The International Maritime Organization also discussed with Ukrainian partners measures to strengthen security within the framework of the temporary Ukrainian sea corridor.
Grain exports decreased slightly compared to last year. Since the beginning of the 2023-2024 marketing year, Ukraine has exported 41.989 million tons of grain, which is 0.643 million tons less than a year ago, representing a decrease of 1.5%.
Note! Nevertheless, exports of wheat flour and flour from other cereals decreased by 33%, amounting to 87.6 thousand tons, which is 43.2 thousand tons less than a year earlier.

- Wheat – 16.002 million tons;
- Barley – 2.214 million tons;
- Rye – 1.3 thousand tons;
