EU awards 1,900 T wheat imports under quotas

PARIS: The European Union has this week awarded about 1,900 tonnes of wheat imports, mostly from Ukraine, under preferential-tariff quotas, official data showed on Wednesday.

The EU granted 1,741 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat imports under an annual duty-free quota, along with 157 tonnes of wheat imports under reduced-tariff quotas open to various origins.

The European Commission usually issues its grain export and import data on Thursdays but brought forward this week's publication due to the Easter holiday.
