Details: According to Kozachenko, 80-85% of exports go through the Black Sea grain corridor, which has begun operations in a new configuration.

He stated that resuming the functioning of the grain corridor improved the volume of Ukrainian grain exports.

Quote: "Of course, we must mention that the Danube logistical route has never moved produce in such large quantities. It is ranked second after the Black Sea grain corridor. Rail and road transport comes in third. As a result, the total volume of exports in certain months exceeded the previous year's average. We're talking about 7 million tonnes, which is roughly what we export each month," the expert said.

According to him, in general, when the full-scale invasion began, the cost of logistics increased by about four and a half times.
