Ukraine says it expects five ships to arrive at its Chornomorsk Black Sea Port today to be loaded with more than 70,000 tonnes of agricultural products.
Media reports from Al Jazeera say the convoy would be the largest so far under a United Nations brokered deal to assure the safe passage of ships exporting grain.
In a statement the Ukrainian sea ports authority said the new cargoes would include wheat, corn and sunseed oil.
Twenty –four ships, the sea ports authority said, carrying food had left Ukrainian ports so far during the 17 days of the grain corridor operation under the Initiative for the Safe Transportation of Grain and Foodstuffs.
