The publication writes that Ukraine insists on continuing the export of grain from the ports of the Black Sea, despite Russia's warning. Yes, you can export grain on other routes. For example, through ports on the Danube or Railway. However, the tonnage in this case will be much smaller. In the long run, if Ukraine can export grain only alternative routes, then costs for Ukrainian farmers will increase. They will reduce the number of crops, and therefore the level of exports from Ukraine will fall.
Journalists noted that before the full -scale invasion of Russia in 2022, Ukraine exported more grain than all the European Union, and supplied about half of the world -selling sunflower seeds and sunflower oil. It is reported that China, Spain and Turkey were the largest buyers of Ukrainian foods transported through a safe corridor. In addition, grain from Ukraine also bought poorer countries such as Egypt.
However, after the statement of the Russian Federation on the exit from the grain agreement, the price of food in the world increased. It should be reminded that on July 21, the White House called the most likely path of export of Ukrainian grain. According to John Kirby, grain from Ukraine will probably be exported by land paths. However, this path is less effective than maritime routes. American analysts also stated that Russia wants to show that grain initiative is impossible.
