Watching the football got me thinking,

So there are supposedly 20 million t grain at or around Odessa.

Let’s take wheat for example although I realise some will be maize or barley etc.

Say 72 kg/ hl. So 720kg per metre cube

Or 1.38 mcube per t

That means there is 27,600,000 metre cube grain at Odessa

Google says Wembley is 4,000,000 m cube if you fill to brim
So there are 6.9 Wembley of grain at Odessa.
Google earth shows a stadium to the south of the port to give some idea of scale ( don’t know, but it definitely doesn’t look as big as Wembley.)
I can’t see anywhere on or near that site where there can be 6.9 Wembley full of grain .

Me thinks the world shouldn’t be banking on this grain being on the dockside ready to load when (if) they clear the mines…

Thoughts welcome. Im even more sceptical about any fert getting out.

Probably do what we do, load ships out of store but have about 300 lorries hauling in at the same time.

4-5 ports around odessa and many terminals, it isnt just a few corn bins on the side of the harbour🤣 First boats hopefully leaving in the next 24hrs according to the turks who are incharge of policing cargo back and fore. You get the feeling it isnt going to run smoothly though, even the alternative route through the danube has been blocked today after an accident with a cruiser

I realise it’s not as simple as I make out, but still feel the deal isn’t going to deliver the solution hoped for! ( by everyone except those with a shedfull of wheat. )

Struggle with such foreign units of measurement. For is Lincolnshire Yokels it will have to be the local grain store measurement 'The Sincil Bank'.
