Around 100 countries globally receive Ukrainian-grown products, meaning \u201cfood prices in Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, and other countries in Africa are directly [dependent] on whether farmers and agricultural companies in Ukraine can operate normally,\u201d Zelenskiy added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On the up:<\/strong> Ukraine\u2019s gain export was bolstered by some 3.6% y-o-y to around 51 mn tons in the 2023\/2024 market season, up from 49.2 mn the prior year. Its grain exports surged by 45.4% y-o-y to 16 mn metric tons by mid-November in the July-June 2024\/2025 season, up from 11 mn tons last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong><\/strong><strong>ON THE RUSSIAN SIDE-<\/strong> <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>US slapped new sanctions on mega Russian private-owned bank Gazprombank<\/strong><strong> last Thursday<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/finance\/us-targets-russias-gazprombank-with-new-sanctions-treasury-website-shows-2024-11-21\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reports, citing a US Treasury Department statement. Gazprombank is now barred from trading with American citizens and its US assets are frozen. Transactions related to Russia\u2019s far east oil and gas project Sakhalin-2 will be exempt from falling under sanction until 28 June 2025. The move comes as the US claims Gazprombank, of which state-owned gas company Gazprom owns a partial share, is a conduit for Russian military purchases in its war against Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Cashew nutshell biofuel wreaks havoc for some vessels:<\/strong> Several ships in Singapore and Rotterdam reported operational problems including fuel sludging, injector failure, and filter clogging after using marine fuel blended with cashew nutshell liquid biofuel, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/cashew-nutshell-marine-biofuel-causes-problems-some-ships-says-testing-agency-2024-11-22\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reported last week, citing a statement from Singapore\u2019s CTI-Maritec.
