From the ports of Greater Odesa, 1,140 vessels were sent to 40 countries. Of the 33.8 million tonnes of cargo transported through this sea corridor, 23.1 million tonnes were the products of Ukrainian farmers. 

At the same time, 33 million tonnes of agricultural products were exported during the year of the grain initiative operation.

Background:

• The first container shipments through the Ukrainian sea corridor may be carried out within two to three weeks. 
• In February, the Ukrainian sea corridor created by the Ukrainian Navy exported a record 8 million tonnes of cargo, bringing the total export volume since the start of the grain corridor’s operation to 28 million tonnes.
