Since the war started, I have been highlighting that there is no solution to the global food crisis without ensuring full global access to Ukraine’s food products and Russian food and fertilizers. The shipment of grain and food stocks into world markets will help bridge the global food supply gap and reduce pressure on high prices. Specifically, the initiative we just signed opens a path for significant volumes of commercial food exports from three key Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea – Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny. It will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine.Īnd it will help stabilize global food prices which were already at record levels even before the war – a true nightmare for developing countries. The focus has been on what matters most for the people of our world.Īnd let there be no doubt – this is an agreement for the world. The question has not been what is good for one side or the other.

Promoting the welfare of humanity has been the driving force of these talks. You have overcome obstacles and put aside differences to pave the way for an initiative that will serve the common interests of all. To the representatives of the Russian Federation and Ukraine: Your facilitation and persistence have been essential through every step of this process. To our hosts, President Erdoğan and the government of Türkiye: I want to recognize and thank all those who helped make it happen. Today, there is a beacon on the Black Sea.Ī beacon of hope – a beacon of possibility – a beacon of relief - in a world that needs it more than ever. Your Excellency, President Erdoğan, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
