Ukraine: Ukraine’s barley exports are likely to reach 4.4 mln tonnes in 2021/22

Ukraine is likely to increase its grain exports to 57 million tonnes in the 2021/22 July-June season from 45.5 million tonnes in 2020/21 thanks to a bigger harvest, analyst APK-Inform said on August 18.

The exports are likely to include 21.1 million tonnes of wheat, 4.4 million tonnes of barley and 31 million tonnes of corn, the consultancy said.

The agriculture ministry last week said that the country had exported 4.61 million tonnes of grain since the start of the 2021/22 season, up 10% from the same point a year earlier.

Ukraine's 2021 grain crop could reach 76.97 million tonnes this year, including 28.79 million tonnes of wheat, 37.76 million tonnes of corn and 8.34 million tonnes of barley, APK-Inform said.

Ukraine harvested 64.9 million tonnes of grain with 24.9 million tonnes of wheat in 2020.
