Cereals silos in the Black Sea port of Constanta, May 3, 2022. Romanian port seeks to become an export hub for neighbouring Ukraine after Russia's invasion cut off its sea routes. Before the war, Ukraine exported 4.5 million tonnes of agricultural produce per month through its ports -– 12 percent of the world's wheat, 15 percent of its corn and 50 percent of its sunflower oil. But Russia's blockade of its seaports has forced exporters to look for alternatives: grain is now loaded onto trains, lorries or barges in the small Danube ports of Reni and Izmail in southwestern Ukraine to be transported through Romania to Constanta.
