Ukraine expects to export 27 million tonnes of corn in the 2018/2019 marketing year. Ukraine’s bumper crop and low prices are helping it ship out corn faster than expected. Exports should mainly go to the European Union, China and Egypt this season. As of November 13, 2018, Ukrainian farmers gathered 30 million tonnes of corn from an area of 4 million hectares (87%) with a yield of 75.4 centner/ha.
