Grain export structure in the reporting period is as follows:

- barley — 4.09 mln t (817 thou. t more y-o-y);

- rye — 5 thou. t (83.2 thou. t less y-o-y).
Previously reported that international prices of all major cereals, except rice, fell in February. Wheat prices were generally lower, in part due to continued well-supplied markets while the negative impact on demand resulting from the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) also contributed to the price decline.
