# Ukraine corn climbs to 5-month high on strong Turkish demand, logistics bottlenecks

> Ukrainian corn FOB POC was assessed at $222.50/mt on Jan. 30, a five-month high, supported by strong Turkish import demand from its poultry sector. Port logistics constraints in Ukraine limited availability, and Turkey is expected to import about 3.7 million mt of corn by August amid low carry-in stocks.
