More than 220 thsd tons of agricultural products were exported from Ukraine under the Grain From Ukraine program

Since the launch of the Grain From Ukraine initiative in the fall of 2022, 221.41 thsd tons of agricultural products have been shipped from Ukraine to 10 countries in Africa and Asia.

This was announced by the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak.

In particular, Ukraine exported 195 thsd tons of wheat, 22.265 thsd tons of wheat flour and 4.141 thsd tons of split peas.

This helped ensure food security for 8 million people.

“Part of our food is purchased by the states participating in the project. This is a win-win strategy: our international partners support the Ukrainian economy and at the same time improve the food situation in the world,” emphasized Yermak.

In the first half of 2024, Ukraine delivered batches of wheat flour to Sudan, wheat to Nigeria, and split peas to Mauritania, Djibouti, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Part of the humanitarian aid is being sent to Malawi and other recipient countries.

In addition, possible deliveries to Haiti, Chad, Cameroon, Tanzania, Djibouti and other countries are being discussed.
