The pace of grain exports from Ukraine at the beginning of April 2024 is already twice as high as in the same period last year.

The EU Council updated the draft agreement, which provides for the extension of duty-free trade with Ukraine.

In March, 4.529 million tons of grain and leguminous crops were exported from Ukraine.

Ukraine is counting on the continuation of the duty-free trade regime with the EU, because Ukrainian exports do not harm the European economy.

The European Commission has approved a proposal to increase tariffs on the import of grain, oil crops and their processing products from Russia and Belarus.

CEO of “Kernel” Evgenii Osypov proposed introducing the payment of deposits upon export, which will make it easier to control the return of foreign exchange earnings to the country.

After loading, the ship exports 3.3 million tons of cargo from the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi.

As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 11.3 million tons of grain storage facilities were destroyed.

Deposits will be returned to importers if Ukrainian grain is sent from the EU to the markets of third countries.

The indicator of the export of Ukrainian agricultural products in 2023/24 MY is lower than last season.
