❗️Ukraine has huge problems with exports. The ports have come to a standstill. Up to 70 ships have piled up at the Sulinsky Canal because of congestion, and idling is costly, — Reuters
After Russian strikes, Ukraine's Black Sea ports were effectively blocked, so grain exports were partially redirected via the Danube. From 1 to 21 August Ukraine exported 539 thousand tons of grain versus 1,73 million tons a year earlier.
There are currently about 70 ships waiting to pass through the canal, while only 2-3 vessels a day can enter the ports. Delays are related to a shortage of pilots, air raid alerts, and bad weather. Waiting for a ship can cost up to $8 thousand a day. These are huge losses.
