During the 10 months of operation of the Ukrainian sea corridor, 55 million tons of cargo were shipped from the ports of Odesa, most of which were agricultural products. These indicators emphasize the important role of Ukraine's maritime infrastructure in the global economy.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure. In their message, they noted that the cargo turnover of the ports of Greater Odessa during this period reached 55 million tons. During this time, 1,954 vessels were processed, which indicates the high intensity of work of the port infrastructure.

The main part of the cargo was the products of Ukrainian farmers. Over the course of ten months, 37.4 million tons of grain were exported from the ports of Odesa to 45 countries. These data confirm the importance of the agricultural sector of Ukraine for ensuring food security of many countries.

The Ministry of Infrastructure noted that the constant increase in the volume of transportation indicates the effectiveness of the functioning of the maritime corridor. Despite constant shelling of the port infrastructure, Ukraine remains one of the leading exporters of agricultural products, ensuring the stability of global markets.

At the moment, 68 ships are waiting for the approach to the ports of "Odesa", "Chornomorsk" and "Pivdenniy", which plan to export almost 2 million tons of cargo. This demonstrates the continuous operation of ports and the importance of their activity for the Ukrainian economy.

In July 2023, Russia withdrew from the "grain agreement", which allowed Ukraine to safely transport agricultural products through three ports in the Odesa region. In response, Ukraine created a temporary "humanitarian corridor" for cargo ships moving to and from Ukrainian seaports.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmygal, said that in January, Ukraine was able to reach pre-war export volumes through the temporary sea corridor, approaching the indicators that existed before the full-scale invasion. Since March, after obtaining the necessary permits from the Armed Forces Navy, the sea corridor has been operating around the clock, which further increases its efficiency.
