Ukraine Agriculture ministry says the country has exported almost 14.3 million tonnes of grain so far in the 2022-23 season.
The Ministry says this is down 30.7 percent from the 20.6 million tonnes exported by the same stage of the previous season.
The data showed exports so far in the July 2022 to June 2023 season included 5.4 million tonnes of wheat, 7.7 million tonnes of corn and 1.2 million tonnes of barley.
The government says Ukraine’s farmers could harvest 50-52 million tonnes of grain this year, down from the record 86 million tonnes in 2021, because of the loss of land to Russian forces and lower yields.
