Ukraine and Finland deliver over 613 tons of food aid to Mozambique
Ukraine, together with Finland and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), has delivered 613.2 tons of humanitarian food assistance to Mozambique, including edible oil and split peas. The official handover took place on November 4, 2026, under the international humanitarian initiative Food from Ukraine. The food supplies are intended for vulnerable communities in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, where the humanitarian situation remains critical.
The shipment is expected to provide food assistance to more than 300 thsd people over the next two months. Cabo Delgado continues to face prolonged armed violence, terrorist threats and the effects of climate change, all of which have undermined local food security. Internally displaced people and communities that have lost access to stable sources of income and food remain particularly vulnerable.
The delivery was arranged under the Grain from Ukraine humanitarian programme, launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2022. In November 2025, the initiative was expanded and renamed Food from Ukraine, broadening its scope to include various food products. The programme brings together international partners to finance purchases of Ukrainian food for countries facing severe food shortages.
In 2026, Finland allocated €1 mln to support the Food from Ukraine initiative. An additional €1 mln was provided for the WFP school feeding programme in Mozambique, bringing Finland’s total contribution to the two humanitarian programmes to €2 mln. Cooperation between Ukraine, Finland and the WFP aims to strengthen food assistance for communities most affected by the humanitarian crisis.
The handover ceremony was attended by representatives of the Mozambican authorities, Ukrainian Ambassador Rostyslav Tronenko, Finnish Ambassador Satu Lassila and WFP officials. Despite Russia’s ongoing aggression and severe challenges affecting export logistics, Ukraine continues to implement international food assistance initiatives, using its agricultural potential to support countries facing humanitarian emergencies.
