Bloomberg News reported yesterday that, "Seven weeks after its invasion of Ukraine, Russia is still exporting grain to some of its biggest customers, even as shipping costs soar."
Ukraine’s corn exports could fall to 17 million tonnes in 2021/22, a senior agriculture official said on Wednesday, down from 23.1 million tonnes the previous year, reflecting the impact of Russia’s invasion. Sunflower oil exports over the same period could drop to 3.4 million tonnes, down from 5.3 million tonnes, Deputy Agriculture Minister Roman Rusakov .
One of the world's leading grains suppliers, Ukraine used to ship most of its agricultural goods via Black Sea ports, due to the war, that is no longer possible.
