The document, which includes a government commitment to keep current export rules unchanged, did not have the export figure which has been included in previous years. "This year, we have agreed not to fix a specific volume of grains," the ministry quoted deputy minister of economy, trade and agriculture Taras Vysotsky as saying.
"However, every last Monday of the month we will hold a joint meeting with market representatives and evaluate the indicators." Ukraine, which harvested about 27 million tonnes of wheat in 2018, increased grain exports by 49% to 13.59 million tonnes in the first three months of the 2019/20 season, agriculture ministry data showed. That included 8.63 million tonnes of wheat, 61% more than in the same period a season earlier.
Ukraine plans to harvest around 71 million tonnes of grain this year, almost the same as in 2018. In 2018/19 Ukraine exported a record 50 million tonnes of grains.
