Since the beginning of 2017/18 MY, Ukrainian agrarians already harvested over 49 mln tonnes of grains and pulses, and traders already managed to export more than 12.5 mln tonnes of grains. At the same time, in terms of many positive headlines describing the growth of foreign exchange earnings from exports, keeping of the upward cargo turn-over indices in the ports, and the prospect of high exports of grains from Ukraine at 70 mln tonnes, there are many less optimistic factors. However, suppression of the problems can lead to far worse consequences than their early recognition and development of a strategy for further solutions.

The key problems of the grain industry as follows:

- absence of balance between regulation and deregulation of the industry;

- outdated and inefficient management tools for the grain market;

- absence of any stimulation of development for small- and medium-scale business;

- problems with VAT refund, and the presence of "shadow" market of grains;

- obsolete quality standards for grains;

- absence of permission to mix different grades of grains at linear grain elevators;

- problems in receiving of a phytosanitary certificate;

- tightening of the weight-size control for heavy trucks on public roads, and the related corruption risks;

- problems with railway logistics and imperfection of the mechanisms for regulation of the situation, established by Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways);

- need to develop the river transportation, etc.
