Ukraine’s government is considering limiting corn exports for this season and the issue will be discussed next week, deputy economy minister Taras Vysotskiy told Reuters on Friday.
Neighbors Romania and Russia have both restricted some grain exports due to disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Vysotskiy did not say why Ukraine might restrict corn exports, nor what the limit might be.
Ukraine’s corn harvest generally exceeds domestic consumption and the country has not restricted shipments in previous seasons.
