There are not enough ships to transport Ukrainian grains, and most of what can be exported does not go to the countries in distress.

The agreement on the export of grain from Ukraine has not yet brought the desired results in the fight against the global food crisis. About this on Wednesday, August 17, wrote Deutsche Welle.

“There are not enough ships to deliver Ukrainian grains, and most of what can be released does not go to the troubled countries,” the publication emphasizes.

Also, the authors of the material pointed out that Ukrainian ships were carrying corn, although “for many countries, it is wheat that is the number one food product.”

“Shortly before arriving at the port of destination – Tripoli – the Razoni vessel with 26,000 tons of corn on board changed course. According to the official version, the buyer refused to accept the cargo, which was five months late. But the the main thing is that Lebanon mainly needs wheat, and not corn,” wrote DW, citing the president of the food import consortium Hani Bushali.

The publication also states that cargo decisions are made by the Joint Coordination Center (JCC), created by Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN for the safe transportation of grain from Ukrainian ports.

“The JCC website states: “Shipping companies make decisions about the movement of their ships based on their business and interests.” Additionally, UN World buys only a few shipments of grain. Food Program and delivered directly to the hungry around the world,” the publication noted.

“Regarding ships that have already left Ukraine, the JCC has no right to decide which grain will go,” the article said.

Also, many insurers are unwilling to insure transportation from conflict zones.

“As a result, only part of the grain currently stored in Ukraine can be exported,” the article stressed.

In just 17 days of operation of the grain corridor, 24 ships left the ports. Just yesterday, five ships with 110 thousand tons of grain left the ports at the same time – the largest caravan.
