The agreement will raise hopes an international food crisis sparked by the war in Ukraine could be eased - with Russia's blockade of the ports having reduced supplies to markets around the world and sent grain prises soaring.

Moscow and Kyiv are set to sign a deal to reopen Ukraine's Black Sea ports for grain exports, Turkey has said - raising hopes an international food crisis caused by Russia's invasion could be eased.However, it is due to be signed at 1:30pm GMT on Friday, Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan's office said.
The blockade by Russia's Black Sea fleet has reduced supplies to markets around the world and sent grain prices soaring., blaming instead Western sanctions for slowing its own food and fertiliser exports and Ukraine for mining its Black Sea ports.Ukraine and Russia, both among the world's biggest exports of food, did not immediately confirm Thursday's announcement by the office of the Turkish presidency.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hinted his country's Black Sea ports could soon be unblocked in a late night video address.
