Ukraine may lose $6 b in grain exports amid Russian port seizures

摘要

Ukraine could suffer around $6 billion in lost revenues with its exports of wheat and maize taking a blow from Russian forces laying siege to the country’s ports on the Black Sea, newswire Reuters reports. The country’s plans to ship around 20 million tonnes of the cereal grains have run aground, with the consignments estimated to be valued at $300/tonne. Ukraine is the fourth-largest exporter of wheat in the world.
