Ukraine's staple grain exports reached 13.84 million tonnes as of October 19, down 16% year on year. Wheat shipments were 9.59 million tonnes and corn shipments were 1.09 million tonnes, down 63%.
USDA's Ukrainian corn forecast was cut to 36.5 million tonnes.
Weaker Ukrainian corn exports and a reduced USDA crop estimate support corn prices, while the wheat export pace is a smaller factor for global wheat.
