Ukraine set to export grain for the first time in months
Farmer Serhiy shows grain in his barn in the village of Ptyche in eastern Donetsk region, Ukraine, Sunday, June 12, 2022. An estimated 22 million tons of grain are blocked in Ukraine, and pressure is growing as the new harvest begins. The country usually delivers about 30 per cent of its grain to Europe, 30 per cent to North Africa and 40 per cent to Asia. But with the ongoing Russian naval blockade of Ukrainian Black Sea ports, millions of tons of last year’s harvest still can’t reach their destinations (AP Photo/Efrem Lukatsky) Source: AP / Efrem Lukatsky/AP
