Ukraine wants to resume its pre-war export levels by the autumn
under a UN-backed deal last month, nine more ships, carrying almost 300,000 tonnes of grain, have set off. By the autumn, Ukrainian officials expect to match the pre-war level of exports. , a trade database. Some of it left the country by road, by rail or on barges along the Danube. But most was exported by ship over the Black Sea. In the three months after the start of the war the volume of exports was at around one third of the normal level.
That’s a lofty target. To reach that level the country would have to double the rate of exports seen in the past week. And exports would have to increase further still to clear the backlog of grain that has been stuck in Ukraine. By’s own calculation, an estimated 10m tonnes of wheat, corn and other cereals that should have left the country are still sitting in storage.
