In February 2016, barley exports from Ukraine reached 24 thousand tonnes, which was slightly higher than during the previous month (21.8 thousand tonnes), but lower than in February 2015 (78.1 thousand tonnes), UkrAgroConsult reported on March 28.

Since the beginning of the current season Ukraine has exported 1.5% less barley than during the same period last season (3964.6 thousand tonnes against 4025.6 thousand during July-February 2014/15 MY).

Ukraine has managed to implement 97% of its barley export capacity during the eight months of the season. According to UkrAgroConsult estimates, about 150 thousand tonnes of barley may be exported by the end of the season. Another increase of supply is possible in April-May.
