The structure of export supplies is as follows: the volumes of export supplies of wheat amounted to more than 15.4 million tons, the supply of barley reached a level of 4 million tons, and the export of corn was about 15 million tons.

In addition, more than 4.6 million tons of oilseeds were also exported during the current MY (export volumes of rape amounted to more than 2 million tons, while the export volumes of soybean reached a level of 2.5 million tons), while last year the export of oilseeds was at the level of 3.7 million tons.
Ukraine continues to maintain its position as one of the world’s leading exporters of grain crops this month. According to statistics, the main importing countries of Ukrainian grain products include Egypt, Iran, Spain, Turkey, and others.
According to experts, grain exports from Ukraine may reach record levels this season. The increase in exports is due to the yield and quality of Ukrainian grain, as well as its competitiveness in the world market.
Despite the positive dynamics of exports, experts note the need to expand the range of grain crops for export and to search for new markets. In addition, there may be problems with transporting grain due to a shortage of railway cars and port terminals.
