Gov’t not to impose cap on grain exports – Ukraine’s Grain Association

Export volumes are in line with the agreements reached under the Memorandum.

The Ukrainian Grain Association (UGA) says the government has no plans to impose restrictions on the exports of grains and oilseeds.

The Ministry for Development of Economy, Trade, and Agriculture and relevant associations discussed the issue at a meeting earlier this week, the UGA’s press service said on its website.

Government officials assured that the export volumes are in line with the Memorandum signed between the ministry and the leading industry associations. Therefore, the government will initiate no export caps.

“Ukraine will continue to meet its commitments on grain exports and food security around the world. As of December 18, 2020, according to the ministry, Ukraine exported 23.8 million tonnes of grain, including 12.2 million tonnes of wheat, 3.7 million tonnes of barley, and 7.5 million tonnes of corn,” the press service said.

In turn, the Ukrainian Grain Association stressed that businesses would continue to adhere to the agreements reached under the Memorandum.
