30 Nov 2022 --- After a last-second deal between Ukraine and Russia to allow maritime transit of food was brokered recently, the agreement is not yielding the expected results, and constant delays are holding up crucial grain crops. “We ask for more transparency in the inspections, such as publication of data on inbound vessels and clarification on the rules on the prioritization of vessels. Another solution would be to increase the number of teams dealing with the inspections,” Iliana Axiotiades, Coceral, secretary-general tells FoodIngredientsFirst.
