People’s Gazette (Greece) published an article about Greece’s willingness to provide ships to help export grain from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, blocked by Russia amidst continuous conflict since February. Ukraine provides 10 percent of the world’s wheat, 14 percent of the world’s corn, and 47 percent of all sunflower oil on the planet. According to IFPRI, Luhansk and Donetsk make up about five percent of Ukraine’s barley production, eight percent of wheat production, nine percent of sunflower seed production, and maize production.
