In the ports of Great Odesa, 16 ships are already waiting for their turn. These are ships that have been blocked since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia. At the same time, we are receiving requests for the arrival of new ships for loading agricultural products.

In the coming weeks, with the support of our partners, we plan to reach the full capacity of transshipment of agricultural products," the minister added.
