In particular, Ukraine exported 195 thousand tons of wheat, 22.265 thousand tons of wheat flour and 4.141 thousand tons of split peas.
This helped ensure food security for 8 million people.
"Part of our food is purchased by the states participating in the project. This is a win-win strategy: our international partners support the Ukrainian economy and at the same time improve the food situation in the world," emphasized Yermak.
In the first half of 2024, Ukraine delivered batches of wheat flour to Sudan, wheat to Nigeria, and split peas to Mauritania, Djibouti, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Some of the humanitarian aid is heading to Malawi and other recipient countries.
