Traders have exported the first supplies of Ukrainian corn to Europe by train as the country’s seaports remain blocked due to the Russian occupation, agricultural consulting firm (APK Inform) said on Sunday.
Ukraine is a leading global producer and exporter of cereals and almost all of its exports are traditionally shipped from its Black Sea ports. Monthly grain exports exceeded 5 million tons before the war.
Traders and agricultural officials have said Ukraine, which still has significant volumes of grain in stock, could start exporting by train across its western border.
“The first batches of several thousand tons of corn have already been exported across Ukraine’s western land border,” APK-Inform said in a report.
“Logistics difficulties continue, supply still dominates demand, but prices have stopped falling,” he added.
APK-Inform said that the prices of Ukrainian corn for buyers from Poland and the Baltic states were 250 to 265 dollars per ton and 275 dollars per ton for Slovakia.
Ukrainian transport authorities have said up to 600,000 tonnes of grain a month could be exported by train from Ukraine to Europe.
The agenda said last week that Ukraine’s wheat exports could reach 44 million tonnes in the 2021/22 July-June season./REL
