About 4.5 million tons of grain remain blocked in Ukrainian ports.
The head of the UN World Food Program David Beasley appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to unblock Ukrainian Black Sea ports to prevent a global humanitarian crisis, reports CNN .
« Millions of people around the world will die as a result of the blockade of these ports. If you have a heart at all, no matter how you feel about Ukraine, you need to open these ports, “Beasley said.
Due to the Russian ports blocked by Russia in the Black Sea, the world was left without huge supplies of agricultural products from Ukraine. According to the US Department of Agriculture, Ukraine is one of the world's five largest exporters of a variety of key agricultural products, including corn, wheat and barley. It is also a leading exporter of both sunflower oil and meal. In 2021, agricultural products accounted for 41% of Ukraine's total exports.
