Ukraine transfers 1,850 tons of wheat to Pakistan as part of food aid
Ukraine has transferred 1,850 tons of wheat to Pakistan as part of the Grain From Ukraine initiative. The press service of the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture reported this on Friday, February 20.
“Ukraine continues to supply food aid as part of humanitarian initiatives: Pakistan received 1,850 tons of wheat,” the report says.
Spain and the Czech Republic acted as donors. The assistance is provided as part of the expansion of the Grain from Ukraine program into Food from Ukraine.
“As a result of three Grain from Ukraine summits and one Food from Ukraine summit, more than $380 million in donor funds were raised,” the Ministry of Economy reported.
According to estimates by the UN World Food Program, the supply of Ukrainian wheat to Pakistan will support about 26,000 people.
Recall that the Grain from Ukraine initiative was launched by President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2022 with the aim of strengthening Ukraine’s role in combating the global food crisis. Its main idea is to deliver food packages to countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and other regions that are on the verge of famine.
Since 2022, as part of Ukraine’s humanitarian initiatives, more than 324 thousand tons of agricultural products, including wheat and flour, corn, peas and oil, have been sent to 19 countries in Africa and Asia.
