According to the operational data of the State customs service, as of August 27, Ukraine since the beginning of 2021/22 has exported 7 mln tons of grain and leguminous crops, which is 645 thousand tons more than a year earlier

Already exported 3,41 mln tons of wheat, 1,18 mln tons of corn, 2,3 mln tons of barley and 20,5 thousand tons of flour.

In 2020/2021, exports of:

  • wheat amounted to 16,64 mln tons;
  • corn — 23,08 mln tons;
  • barley — 4,23 mln tons;
  • flour — 0,13 mln tons.

It is noted that for the third month in a row the EU buys more Ukrainian corn than China, due to which the share of the EU in the structure of Ukrainian corn exports increased to 31%.

In the structure of corn imports to the EU, Ukraine increased its share to 35% in the first month of 2021/22 (in the EU the season begins in July) due to the reduction of the shares of Canada, Serbia and others. According to the European Commission, in 2020/21 Ukraine became the main corn supplier to the EU, its share in July-June was 43%.
