Ukraine Exports 3.6 MMT Grain July/August

In the first two months of the marketing year dollar-hungry Ukraine has exported 3.6 MMT of grain, according to the Ukrainian agrarian confederation. That's slightly lower than last season's record 3.8 MMT, but still sharply higher than in previous years.

August's exports were 1.93 MMT, 13.5% up on July's 1.7 MMT.

I guess that this reinforces the view that they'll take any price on offer to get foreign mazoola into the country as quickly as possible.

Ukraine exported a monster 25.3 MMT of grain in the marketing year marketing year July08/June09, according to UkrAgroConsult. This season exports are seen falling to around 17-19 MMT.
