> Ukraine's commodity exports rose 15% in value to $41.7 billion in 2024 and over 30% in volume to 131.2 million tonnes. The gains followed the reopening of Black Sea corridor ports in Odesa, Chernomorsk and Pivdenne, which allowed non-agricultural cargo to move again and supported EU sales of grain.
