Ukraine: Grain and Feed Annual
Production of wheat in MY 2016/17 is forecast to decrease based on lower production area under this crop planted in Autumn 2015. Corn production is forecast to increase based on an expected similar production area, but higher yields compared to MY2015/16. Barley volumes are projected to remain stable, while rye production is expected to decrease. Ukraine continues to develop closer economic ties with the European Union. This translates into growth of exports to this destination, both for grains and for products of the milling industry. Regulatory changes for farmers by the Government of Ukraine present both threats and opportunities.
