Ukraine expected five ships to arrive at its Chornomorsk Black Sea port on Wednesday to load more than 70,000 tons of agricultural products.
It would be the largest convoy since an agreement between Kyiv and Moscow to allow Ukraine to resume grain exports through the Black Sea.
The Ukrainian sea ports authority said in a statement that the new cargo would include wheat, corn and sunseed oil.
The authority said that 24 ships carrying food had left Ukrainian ports since the deal has been struck.
Ukraine is one of the world’s major grain producers and before the war, it sent over 90% of its food exports by sea.
