E-Malt.com News article: Ukraine: Barley exports in October reach record level but July-October exports still below last year’s
Barley news

In October 2015, Ukraine exported 414.1 thousand tonnes of barley. Despite the fact that it was a record high monthly level since season 2009/10 (807.5 thousand tonnes of barley were exported in October 2009), during four months of the 2015/16 season exports of barley from Ukraine were still 11% lower than last year, Black Sea Grain reported on December 3.

This season, China and Japan joined the major importers of Ukrainian barley and significantly increased their purchases compared to last year.

From July till October 2015, China imported more than 444.7 thousand tonnes of barley from Ukraine against 250.9 thousand in season 2014/15. And during the first four months of the season Japan has already imported 300% more barley from Ukraine than during the whole last season (147 thousand tonnes in July-October 2015 compared with 33.5 thousand tonnes in 2014/15). Thus, these countries imported 20% of all barley exported from Ukraine in the current season compared to 3.4% during the same period last year.
