Since the start of 2019/20, staple grains export from Ukraine has reached 36.93 mln t vs. 28.37 mln t in the prior season's comparative period.
As of Feb. 5, commodities shipment increased by 8.56 mln t from the comparative period of the previous year, the information and analytical portal of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine reports.
Grain export structure in the reporting period is as follows:
- wheat — 15.95 mln t (4.35 mln t more y-o-y);
- barley — 3.89 mln t (629 thou. t more y-o-y);
- corn — 16.61 mln t (3.73 mln t more y-o-y);
- rye — 5 thou. t (81.9 thou. t less y-o-y).
As a reminder, further spread of coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and reduced import demand triggered a decline in grain export quotations in the Black Sea region last week.
