KIEV — Traders plan to ship 63,000 tons of Ukrainian corn to Iran in coming weeks, Kiev-based ProAgro consultancy said Thursday, citing data from Ukrainian seaports.
It also said traders had exported 16,500 tons of corn and 10,500 tons of sunflower oil to Iran so far in February.
ProAgro said the cargo with corn had left Ukraine on Feb. 3 for Bandar Imam Khomeini port, while a vessel with 10,500 tons of sunflower oil left Ukraine on Feb. 10. Ukrainian sunflower oil is due to be unloaded in the Iranian port of Bandar-e-Abbas. It was not clear how Iran had paid for the latest shipments of Ukrainian corn and sunflower oil.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
