Ukrainian grain traders said on Tuesday they saw no grounds to restrict corn exports for the 2020/21 season, a move requested by animal feed and meat producers to avoid higher feed prices.
Reutersreports Ukraine’s economy ministry and agricultural unions will decide on January 25 whether to limit corn exports for the 2020/21 marketing season to 22 million tonnes.
Domestic livestock and poultry producers’ associations last week asked the government to limit corn exports to that level to avoid a shortage of animal feed.
