It was noted that the head of the UN General Assembly, Chaba Quereshi, in a meeting on October 10, highly appreciated the work of the grain agreement.
“We will work together to fully implement essential food supplies from Ukrainian ports,” he said.
According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, during the agreement, which will end at the end of November, more than 309 ships left the ports of Odessa from more than 6.9 million tons of agricultural products.
