On this Monday morning, the first Ukrainian grain ship left Odesa Sea Port. It could be a milestone in the food crisis since the Russian Aggression has started. Thanks to negotiations on establishing grain transport corridors through the Black Sea between the UN, the USA and Turkey, the export is no longer stopped. The ship is headed for Lebanon, ready to export grain to countries in need. Also, the USA continues engaging with partners to provide safe passage for grain.
This is a great contribution to stop the crisis and improve the situation on the market.
