As of April 6, more than 36 million tons of goods were transported through the Ukrainian export corridor. As Oleksandr Kubrakov noted, this is higher than the indicators of the «grain initiative» for the year of its existence.

According to him, 1,286 ships have already passed through the Ukrainian corridor, exporting 25 million tons of agricultural products to the countries of Asia, Africa and Europe. Currently, 135 vessels are waiting to enter the ports of «Odesa», «Chornomorsk» and «Pivdennyi», which are supposed to export 4 million tons of cargo.
