Ukraine: Barley exports amount to 339,000 tonnes in March
Ukraine exported 339,000 metric tonnes of barley in March, among the largest monthly volumes this season, and is likely to keep exports stable in the coming months, a Ukrainian agricultural producer group said on April 2.
Ukraine is a traditional barley grower and exporter, shipping almost 2 million tons from July 2023 to April 2024.
"We can expect to export 200,000 tonnes in April and (another 200,000) in May. Ukrainian barley has become more competitive and is in demand from EU countries and Turkey," the Agrarian Council said in a statement.
The council said the main barley trade took place in Odesa Black Sea ports, where the notional price is about $145 a tonne.
"We predict that the price tag will rise by another $1 to $2 per ton this week," it added.
Ukrainian farmers have already started 2024 barley sowing, seeding 291,400 hectares as of March 29.
The agriculture ministry last month said it expected that the area sown to spring barley would rise to 943,000 hectares this year, up from 821,900 hectares in 2023.
