Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan has called for continuing the implementation of the Istanbul agreement on the shipment of grain and fertilizers from Black Sea ports.


There is yet another question regarding grains and fertilizers. [It is necessary] to strengthen the Istanbul agreement and to continue its fulfillment so that Russian fertilizers reach the poorest countries via Turkey.

ErdoÄŸan said at the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Kazakhstan.

The UN, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine signed a document in Istanbul on July 22, titled the Initiative on the Safe Transportation of Grain and Foodstuffs from Ukrainian ports, also called the Black Sea Grain Initiative, to open a grain corridor from three Ukrainian ports: Chornomorsk, Odessa and Yuzhny.

The transit from the Black Sea ports is unblocked according to the Istanbul agreements till October 2022.

So far, around 280 voyages had successfully left Ukrainian ports carrying approx. 7 million tonnes of grain and other food products.
