In six months, 20 mln tonnes of cargo transported along Black Sea logistics corridor – Shmyhal
During the six months of operation of the Ukrainian maritime logistics corridor, about 20 million tonnes of cargo were transported, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said at a government meeting on Tuesday.
"More than 660 ships have already passed through the new grain corridor, which transported about 20 million tonnes of cargo to 32 countries around the world. Some 70% of these cargoes are agricultural products of our agricultural producers. In January, we reached pre-war export volumes by sea, and in terms of total exports we are already approaching the figures that we had for a full-scale invasion," the Prime Minister said.
According to him, in January, in monetary terms, total Ukrainian exports amounted to $3.1 billion, of which $1.9 billion is sea exports.
"This helps us accumulate internal resources. After all, every hryvnia coming into the budget from export trade goes to defense. For the best provision of the military, drones and ammunition, innovative defense industry products and much more," Shmyhal stressed.
