Ukrainian grain market lowered by one third
According to estimations of APK-Inform experts, in 2009/10 MY, the export potential of grains and leguminous plants from Ukraine totals 16.8 mln tonnes, down 33% compared to the export volumes in 2008/09 MY. Despite the decrease of export volumes, the mentioned volume is rather large-scale, and exceeds the average annual indices of the previous seasons (except of 2008/09 MY).
In the current season, Ukraine has excellent prospects to keep the positions on the world market, won in 2008/09 MY. During four months (July-October) of 2009/10 MY, Ukraine exported 9 mln tonnes of grains, which became the record compared to the same periods of previous ten seasons.
