The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine forecasted the general grain harvest in 2015/16 MY at the level of 60 mln tonnes, declared the press-service of the Ministry on July 2.

In terms of stable domestic consumption of grains at the level of 27 mln tonnes and high competition rates on the world market, the exports will total nearly 34-37 mln tonnes, said Oleksiy Pavlenko, Head of the Ministry. He stressed that achievement of the planned volumes would bring the share of Ukrainian grains to 8% in the global trading with wheat, and to 15% in the global trading with corn.

In addition, O.Pavlenko announced about the plans of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy to initiate signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with grain exporters, since the validity of the previous document ended on July 1, 2015.
