A shipment of 25,000 tons of Ukrainian grain is now being prepared for transit from the Turkish port of Samsun to Nigeria as part of the Grain from Ukraine program.
This information was provided in a statement by Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar.
He stated that the grain is currently being stored in Turkey under the aegis of the United Nations World Food Program.
The envoy also examined the port and the Fuat Sezgin vessel, which will convey the cargo to Nigeria as part of the Grain from Ukraine program.
The ambassador emphasized preparations to deliver another 60 ships from other ports.
“During the Black Sea Grain Initiative, this grain was delivered in bulk from one of the ports in Ukraine,” he stated.
“It is now being held in Turkey under the aegis of the United Nations World Food Program. It is critical for us to work with the World Food Program to send grain to countries like Nigeria.”
