# Ukraine says its Black Sea grain corridor is working | Reuters

> Ukraine says about 700,000 tons of grain have left its ports via a new Black Sea route since it began operating in August. Before Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine shipped up to six million tons of grain a month from its Black Sea ports.

## Why it matters

Restored export capacity through an alternative corridor eases supply constraints for Ukrainian wheat and corn, which helps cap global feed grain prices, though volumes remain far below pre-war levels.
