Ukraine proposes the creation of grain hubs in African ports.

As President Zelenskyy stated, Ukraine can create hubs for millions of tons of grain annually in sensitive areas. According to him, Ukraine has already started negotiations on such possibilities. This will help prevent any upheavals in the world food market.

Zelenskyy also emphasized that Ukraine will never give up its role as a guarantor of global food security. “No one expected us to be able to push the Russian fleet out of our Black Sea waters and provide more space for the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the humanitarian initiative, Grain from Ukraine”, Zelenskyy said.

He added that Ukrainian food exports have reached the shores of African and Asian countries with 32 million tons of food. “I thank all those leaders who supported our export programs,” concluded Zelensky.

Also, during the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in NYC, the President of Ukraine met with the Presidents of South Africa and Kenya to discuss specific steps to create grain hubs in Africa.
