Ukraine officials and traders do not expect the coronavirus epidemic to have an impact on the country’s grain exports to China, although there are delays to transport and disruption to logistics throughout the country, reports Reuters.
China is a major importer of Ukrainian corn and sunflower oil.
Ukraine exported at least 208,000 tonnes of corn to China in the week of Jan. 25-31, APK-Inform consultancy said.
Chinese National Grain Trade Center, however, said in a notice that the country would start selling 2.96 million tonnes of corn from state reserves from Feb 7 in a bid to ease feed shortage at some companies in the south.
