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.
