Although the grain corridor has already started working at the exit our goal is the full operation of the ports in both directions.

Our goal is 3 or more million tons of agricultural products every month from the ports of Odessa Chornomorsk and Pivdenny commented the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov .Ukrainian ports are also currently receiving applications for ship owners who are ready to enter our ports for loading. Starting to work with them will enable the operation of both outgoing and incoming ports for downloading.We will remind on July 22 in Istanbul at the suggestion of the United Nations Ukraine Turkey and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres signed the Initiative on the safe transportation of grain and food products from the Ukrainian ports of Odesa Chornomorsk and Pivdenny.On August 1 as part of the implementation of the agreements the first ship - RAZONI under the flag of Sierra Leone - departed from Odesa port.
