# How much grain is Ukraine exporting and how is it leaving the country?

> Ukraine is exporting over five million tonnes of grain a month, with 5.2 million tonnes shipped in March 2024 after exports slumped to about 2 million tonnes monthly in late 2023. Ukraine has established new export routes and shipped about 20 million tonnes to 42 countries since the grain deal ended, despite 30 Russian attacks on its ports and storage.
