Ukraine increased grain shipments to its Black Sea ports for subsequent export by 5.5 per cent in February year-on-year to 2.3 million tonnes, despite ongoing Russian attacks on transport infrastructure, state railways said on Thursday.
Ukraine ships about 90 per cent of its exports via the Black Sea's Odesa port hub.
"In February, we saw an increase in shipments, but we were hampered by weather conditions and attacks on port infrastructure," state-run Ukrzalizhytsia railway company said in a report.
Ukrainian farm lobby UCAB said this week that the country's grain exports rose by one per cent in February from January to 3.4 million tonnes, with corn dominating the exported volume.
Data from Ukrainian economy ministry showed that the country exported 22.3 million tonnes of various grains so far in the 2025/26 July to June season as of March 2, versus 29.6 million a season earlier.
