Lloyd's List: The Shipping Podcast13 Jan 2023

Can the Ukraine grain corridor survive 2023?

THE deal to allow the safe transport of grain out of Ukraine by sea was an extraordinary and unprecedented agreement between enemy combatants. And the fact that it has seen 17 m tonnes exported to dates has, quite literally been a matter of life and death as well as a minor diplomatic miracle. But the initiative is deeply flawed and survives despite its status as a political bargaining chip and routine threats from Russia to shut it down. Despite its drawbacks and limitations it is our view that the deal will likely survive 2023, but there are few guarantees and several risks factors which could yet scuttle this essential lifeline. So, we’re taking a deep dive into the Ukraine grain corridor this week on the podcast, bringing you insights from three of the world’s leading experts as we examine how sustainable the grain corridor is and the role it plays in wartime economics, policy and diplomacy.
