Grain crops exports to decrease by 11% to 17mn tons
In 2009, Ukraine will export 17mn tons of grain crops (down 11% against 2008), according to experts of the Russia-based representative office of the Netherlands's bank Rabobank, which specializes in lending to agricultural establishments. Due to the spring drought and lack of mineral fertilizers, the grain crops' yield in Ukraine decreased from 4 tons in 2008 to 2.5 tons per hectare.
