Ukrainian grain traders plan to export 6 mln tonnes of barley, up from earlier estimates of 4.5 mln tonnes, in 2008/09 MY, reported Vladimir Klimenko, President of Ukrainian Grain Association, on August 6.
Grain traders also plan to export 7 mln tonnes of wheat and 15-16 mln tonnes of maize in the current season, informed V. Klimenko.
Do the maths, 21m tonnes of wheat in the silos with 19% of the harvest still left to do, the wheat crop could in excess of 24 million, substantially higher than official estimates. Ditto the total grain crop at 33.5m with a quarter left to cut - Nogger
