Ukraine shipping more grain (Southeast Ag Net Radio Network) 

August 22, 2022


Southeast AgNet published an article stating that ships are once again sailing from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports. But most of those ships with grain, sunflower, soy, and wheat were not headed to needy countries or carried grain stolen by Russia to ally Syria, and tonnage was far short of that in Ukraine silos. Senior research fellow Joseph Glauber told PBS’ NewsHour the answer is to end the war. “I think, with Ukraine hampered by a war going on and the fact that they aren’t shipping as much as they could ship normally, that means lower prices for producers. That means less production. And because of the important role Ukraine plays in world markets, I think that means continued tight supplies,” he said.
