UN procured Ukrainian wheat for Sudan
A United Nations (UN) aid agency has made procurement of about 80 thou. t of Ukrainian wheat for further delivery to Sudan, Reuters reports with reference to European traders.
"About 40 thou. t is to be shipped by the end of May and 40 thou. t by the first half of July," the message reads.
May rains succeeding the dry April allow the main grain producers of the Black Sea region — Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan — to hope for sizable exports in the new marketing season.
On May 13, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal stated that the Government does not plan to limit wheat export from the country in 2019/20 as grain stocks are enough to cover the internal market's demand.
