Ukraine's grain exports to reach 21 million tonnes

In the following marketing year, grain exports from Ukraine will total nearly 21 million tonnes, according to Nikolay Prysiaghniuk, the Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine.

To date, traders have already contracted nearly four million tonnes of grains of the new harvest.

Prysiaghniuk noted that Russia plans to increase its own grain exports, and because of this, Ukraine will face difficulties selling the previously planned 24 million tonnes of grains.
