🌾 The Ukrainian ship Golden Bird offloaded its wheat cargo in the port of Tripoli (North Lebanon). It left Ukraine before the current war.

Ukraine accounts for 80% of Lebanon's wheat imports (520,000 tons in 2021) and Russia for 15%. Lebanon produces 50,000 tons of wheat, 90% of which is not suitable for making Arabic bread and is usually for pasta and bulgur (Al-Monitor). Ukraine and Russia account for 70% of Egypt and Turkey’s wheat supply (FT).

Ukraine is a world leader in agricultural exports, as it produces “18% of the world’s sunflower seed, safflower [and] cottonseed oil exports; 13% of corn production; 12% of global barley exports; and 8% of wheat and meslin” (Diario AS). The country is nicknamed ‘breadbasket of Europe’ and can reportedly feed 1 ⁠billion people.
