First Africa-bound wheat cargo departs Ukraine port

Ship leaves for Djibouti carrying humanitarian food aid for Ethiopia

Kyiv/Istanbul — The ship Brave Commander has left the Ukrainian port of Pivdennyi, carrying the first cargo of humanitarian food aid bound for Africa from Ukraine since Russia’s invasion, Refinitiv Eikon data showed on Tuesday.

The Brave Commander, with 23,000 tonnes of wheat aboard, left for Djibouti with supplies destined for consumers in Ethiopia, Ukraine’s infrastructure ministry said. Ukraine can export 3-million tonnes of grain from its ports in September and may in the future be able to export 4-million tonnes monthly, deputy infrastructure minister Yuriy Vaskov said.

Turkey’s defence ministry said that five ships left Ukrainian ports on Tuesday carrying corn and wheat, three from Chornomorsk and two from Pivdennyi, bringing the total of ships to leave under the deal to 21.
