Media found out how much Ukrainian grain arrived in EU

At least 38 percent of the grain exported through the ‘grain corridor’ from Ukraine came to the EU states – as noted by the Spanish El País newspaper, RIA Novosti reports

The publication, citing UN information and ship tracking figures, reported that at least 2.3 million tonnes of corn, wheat, barley and other agricultural products have already been exported from Ukraine through the Black Sea corridor from August 1st to September 7th.

“Of the total number of tonnes of grain exported through the corridor, 38 percent (about 900,000 tonnes) were sent to the ports of the EU member countries,” the newspaper noted.

País said that it is not known from the information available to trace whether the EU is the final destination of the shipments or a transit point.

According to the article, Spain is one of the largest importers of Ukrainian grain: two ships have already arrived in the ports of the kingdom, with two more expected. In total, Spain will receive at least 200,000 tonnes of corn, barley and sunflower seeds. Another 20 percent of exports went to Turkey, 14 percent to China, India and South Korea, and 27.5 percent to the countries of the Middle East and Africa.
