Ukraine’s grain corridor has attracted more ship traffic in its first seven months than the United Nations-protected Black Sea Grain Initiative did throughout its entire year of operation before Russia pulled the plug.
According to UN and TradeWinds data as of 5 March, 991 outbound vessel trips, carrying 28.9m tonnes of cargo — mostly foodstuffs — left the three big Ukrainian ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny/Pivdennyi.
