In the framework of the grain export agreement, the bulk carriers MUSTAFA NECATI, STAR HELENA, GLORY and RIVA WIND were sent. They go to the ports of Italy, China and Turkey and transport almost 170 thousand tons of agricultural products.
Export volumes will increase
Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov noted that Ukraine is gradually reaching larger volumes. It is planned that the ports handle at least 100 ships per month. In addition, they want to involve the Yuzhny port in the initiative.
