The country’s embassy in Beirut said on Monday that the first shipment of corn kernels leaving Ukraine after the agreement with Russia to unlock the Black Sea was rejected by the buyer and is now waiting for a new buyer (8).
26 thousand tons of product was supposed to land this Sunday (7), but the Razoni ship is still close to the Turkish sea. Due to the delay, the ship cannot enter the Lebanese port of Beirut.
The buyer would have given up the product because the delivery was delayed by more than five months. Now the embassy reports that it is looking for a new buyer, which could be in Lebanon or another country in the region.
The blockade of Ukrainian ports began on February 24, the first day of Russia’s occupation, and ended only on July 22 with an agreement signed between Kyiv and Moscow through Ankara and the United Nations.
Since August 1, when Rizoma left the port of Odessa, five more ships left the same place and the ports of Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi. Even this Monday, the Turkish flagged Polarnet ship arrived in Derince port and is unloading its cargo.
According to data from Kiev, there are about 20 million tons of grain and grain waiting to be shipped at Ukrainian ports since February.
