In January 2023, Ukraine shipped 5.5 million tons of grains, oilseeds and their products. This is 1.3 million tons less than in December 2022.

As a result, only 3 million tons were shipped in the first month of the year as part of the grain initiative. In September-October, exports of agricultural products through the grain corridor in the framework of the grain initiative amounted to about 4 million tons and over 4 million tons, respectively.
