Over 5 months, Ukraine exported 19 mln tons of grain, up 4 mln tons year-on-year. Total exports since the beginning of the year amounted to 57 million tons, demonstrating Ukraine's reliability as a partner.

Despite lower yields, Ukraine's exports are working quite effectively, said Denys Marchuk, deputy chairman of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, at a briefing, UNN reports.

Details

Despite the lower yields, exports are working quite effectively. From July to November, we managed to export 19 million tons of grain, which is a good result. Sometimes we managed to export more than 6 million tons per month. If we look at the whole year since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has exported about 57 million tons of grain crops. That is, we continue to demonstrate ourselves to the world as reliable partners

says Denys Marchuk.

According to the expert, last year's exports were 4 million tons less due to the suspension of the grain corridor. 

Recall

Earlier, we wrote that in 16 months, Ukrainian agricultural products were exported to 50 countries via the sea corridor. More than 90 million tons of products passed through the ports of Odesa, which is 14% more than last year.
