KYIV, April 4 (Reuters) - Ukrainian agricultural group
Kernel has expanded its sea fleet and can now export 100,000
metric tons of grain per month by ship, it said on Thursday.
    Ukraine usually exports 95% of its farm exports via Black
Sea ports and Ukraine's own ships can ensure exports even in the
face of military dangers associated with Russia's invasion of
Ukraine.
    Kernel, the leading Ukrainian sunoil exporter, has purchased
the Rotterdam Pearl V vessel, which can transport 50,000 tons of
grain, it posted on Facebook.
    The company said its fleet had been transporting Ukrainian
exports to the Mediterranean and North-East Atlantic for more
than a year, allowing it to manage costs along the entire supply
chain.
