ANKARA: More than 27 mln tons of agriculture products have been supplied from Ukraine within the framework of implementation of the Black Sea grain initiative, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu following the talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Ankara on Friday.
"The grain corridor deal was concluded last July in Istanbul and it has been extended several times, the last time for 60 days. By now more than 27 mln tons of agriculture products have been delivered through the grain corridor from three Ukrainian ports," he said, adding that the deal contributes much to the food crisis resolution.
Agreements on the export of food from Ukraine were concluded on July 22, 2022, for 120 days and extended in November for the same period. One of the agreements regulates the order of grain supplies from the Kiev-controlled ports of Odessa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny. Moreover, a memorandum was inked by Russia and the UN on lifting restrictions on export of Russian agriculture products and fertilizers to global markets. Moscow notes that the second part of the agreement is not implemented. On March 18, Russia announced an extension of the deal for 60 days, warning that such a period would be sufficient for estimating execution of the memorandum signed with the UN.
