He thanked Ukraine, Russia and the UN for their efforts to preserve the agreement, noting that it was vital to ensuring the stability of global food supplies.
Until now, within the framework of the agreement, more than 800 ships have delivered 25 million tons of Ukrainian grain to the world market, the Turkish president said.
He did not specify for how long the agreement was extended.
The Black Sea Cereal Initiative, which was first approved last July, has already been extended once in November.
The deal has allowed Ukraine to export millions of tons of grain and other agricultural products that would otherwise have been stuck in Russian-blocked ports.
The agreement allows the export of Ukrainian grain from three Black Sea ports. Monitoring of the implementation of the agreement is carried out by Turkey.
