Ukraine's Minister of Agriculture Taras Vysotsky said on Friday that since August, Ukraine's total food exports have been 1.42 million metric tons, including 822,000 tons of grains, and the total monthly export volume may reach 1.7 million tons. The seaport at Ukraine's Odesa port hub has actually ceased operations since the end of July due to Russia's use of drones and missiles to attack docks and ships. Before the seaport was blocked, Ukraine exported at least 4 million tons of food per month.
