The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to provide up to 125,000 tons of grain as part of humanitarian aid to countries in Africa and Asia.

According to the government resolution of November 24, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was allocated UAH 900 million for the purchase and delivery of up to 125,000 tons of wheat or corn to African and Asian countries.

Grain should be delivered to Sudan, Yemen, Kenya and Nigeria.

The Ministry of Finance must carry out the mentioned expenses at the expense of the reserve fund of the state budget. The task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to agree with the UN and other bodies on the issue of grain deliveries from Ukrainian seaports.

As a reminder, Ukraine has already collected $180 million for the implementation of the Grain From Ukraine initiative. As part of the project, about 60 ships with grain will depart from Ukrainian ports. Each such vessel will provide food for 90,000 people.
