In the event of no or limited access to its Black Sea ports Ukraine will be unable to export more then 2 million tonnes on a monthly basis.This almost led to a global food crisis in the year 2022 which was avoided after the UN brokered an arrangement between Turkey ,Russia and Ukraine and so far 810 ships laden with around 20 million tonnes of corn and wheat have sailed from Ukrainian ports.
