Hopes Grow For Stability Of Ukraine Grain Corridor

Ukraine has around 20 million tons of grain left over from last year's crop piled up across the country, as well as this year's wheat harvest, which is estimated at about a further 20 million tons, according to Reuters.

The three ports involved in the deal – Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi – have the combined capacity to ship around three million tons a month and some expect this level of exports could potentially be achieved in October, Reuters said.
