Ukraine will manage to export 600 thsd tons of barley at a favorable price

Barley exports from Ukraine this season are ahead of last year’s figures due to the fact that in the first two months China was present on the market and purchased large enough volumes of Ukrainian barley.

This was stated by Maksym Kharchenko, grain market analyst at UkrAgroConsult, during the All-Ukrainian practical forum “Agronomy Day”.

“In September, China stopped purchases as it harvested a good grain crop, so local traders focused on purchasing grain within the country. That is why barley exports from Ukraine switched to other countries, our traditional markets – Spain and Jordan,” said Mr. Kharchenko.

Ukraine has about 600 thsd tonnes of barley to export by the end of the season, and the current pace should be enough to do so at a favorable price.
