Ukraine's staple grain exports reached 7.05 million tonnes in 2020/21 as of August 31, down 20% from a year earlier. Wheat exports were 4.46 million tonnes, barley 2 million tonnes and corn 570 thousand tonnes, down 69% year on year.
The government and trade signed a memorandum setting a 17.5 million tonne wheat export limit for 2020/21.
A 17.5 million tonne wheat export cap limits Ukraine's share of world wheat supply, which supports global wheat prices. The steep corn export decline keeps Black Sea feed-corn availability tight.
