Eight grain ships have left Ukrainian ports in the last two days.

Over the last two days, eight ships carrying 342,000 tonnes of agricultural products have left Ukraine's Black Sea ports for destinations in Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Ukraine's Ministry of Infrastructure stated this in a Telegram message.

At this time, four vessels carrying 130,500 tonnes of agricultural products pass through the "grain corridor," according to the Ukraine ministry.

Since August 1 of this year, 483 ships have exported 11.6 million tonnes of Ukrainian foodstuffs from Ukraine's Black Sea ports to countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

On July 22, Ukraine, Turkey, and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres signed the Initiative for the Safe Transportation of Grain and Foodstuffs from Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi ports in Istanbul. On August 1, the first ship carrying Ukrainian grain left the port of Odesa.

On November 17, Ukraine, the United Nations, and Turkey reached an agreement in Istanbul to extend the Black Sea Grain Initiative for another 120 days.
