Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi held a meeting with Marianna Ward, Deputy Director of the World Food Programme in Ukraine.
As part of the ongoing dialogue regarding Grain from Ukraine, the parties discussed the current state and further prospects for the implementation of the humanitarian food initiative.
During the meeting, Ms Ward reported that the World Food Programme purchased another 60,000 tons of Ukrainian agricultural products.
The humanitarian grain will be loaded onto two ships in the port of Chornomorsk and sent to Ethiopia. The first vessel, Amira Hana, is already awaiting a Joint Coordination Center (JCC) entry inspection.
Mr Solsky expressed his gratitude to the partners for their comprehensive support of the Ukrainian initiative.
The parties agreed on further coordination of actions in matters of providing humanitarian aid to the poorest countries in Africa and Asia to prevent famine.
As a reminder, Grain from Ukraine is a food initiative aimed at providing grain to countries on the brink of starvation. It is implemented in partnership with the World Food Programme. The amount of accumulated funds provided by international partners for the Ukrainian Grain from Ukraine initiative is about 200 million dollars.
