A Ukrainian official said Ukraine is ready to ban wheat exports if necessary. Ukraine has exported 18 million tonnes of wheat in 2019/20, leaving about 2 million tonnes for the rest of the season ending June 30.
A Ukrainian wheat export ban would tighten Black Sea supply already constrained by Russian quotas, pushing global wheat prices higher and shifting demand toward other origins.
