Ukrainian grain exports to the EU amounted to 1.5 million tons, which is significantly higher than last season (188 thousand tons). Andrey Kupchenko, head of the APK-Inform agency's business projects service, announced such data in his report at the international conference "Asia Grains & Oils Conference in Qazaqstan 2022" on November 11 in Astana.
He specified that the top 5 largest suppliers of wheat to the EU also include Great Britain (379 thousand tons against 155 thousand tons last season), Canada (179 thousand tons against 49 thousand tons), Moldova (113 thousand tons against 86 thousand tons) and Serbia (110 thousand tons against 164 thousand tons last season).
Ukraine also significantly increased the supply of barley and corn to the EU - up to 270 thousand tons and 4 million tons, respectively (last season, these figures were much lower - 4 thousand tons and 1.2 million tons). Thus, Ukraine occupies the second place in the ranking of suppliers of these types of grain for the EU countries.
