KYIV: Ukraine's grain exports fell by a third to 2.33 million tonnes in July, the first month of the 2020/21 marketing season, the economy ministry said on Friday.
The exports included 1.19 million tonnes of wheat, 424,000 tonnes of corn and 714,000 tonnes of barley as of July 31.
The ministry did not clarify whether the exported grain was harvested in 2020 or in 2019.
Ukraine harvested a record 75.1 million tonnes of grain in 2019 but it could decrease output this year due to poor weather.
The country is the world's fourth-largest wheat exporter with 56.5 million tonnes of grain sold in the 2019/20 season.
The government has not given a grain export forecast for 2020/21.
