The DENIZ M bulk carrier will deliver 30,000 tonnes of humanitarian wheat to Ethiopia. Under the auspices of the WFP, more than half a million tonnes of Ukrainian wheat have already been delivered to needy countries in Africa and Asia. 

Ukrainian farmers will not be able to sow about 20% of the country’s farmland due to the Russian occupation, pollution, or mine contamination.

That’s according to Dmytro Solomchuk, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy, Ukrinform reports with reference to the parliament's website.

On Monday, March 20, the Valsamitis vessel delivered a humanitarian cargo of 30 thousand tons of wheat to the Kenyan port of Mombasa. This is the fifth vessel to deliver Ukrainian grain to Africa as part of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Grain from Ukraine humanitarian program established to overcome the global food crisis, particularly in countries most affected by hunger.

The Agreement liberalizing the carriage of freight by road has been extended until June 30, 2024. The document, which was signed in June 2022, has abolished the need for Ukrainian carriers to obtain appropriate permits for bilateral and transit transportation to the EU.

The relevant decision was reached during the first meeting of the Joint Committee of the Agreement on the Carriage of Freight by Road.
