KYIV, April 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine is able to export a further 10 million tonnes of grain, including 1.5 million tonnes of wheat, in the remaining months of the current July-June season, Rail.insider news agency on Thursday quoted Ukraine's traders union UGA as saying. Mykola Gorbachov, head of the Ukrainian Grain Association (UGA), said the exports could also include up to 7.5 million tonnes of corn. First deputy farm minister Taras Vysotskiy last week said Ukraine may export 15.6 million tonnes of various grains in the same period.


It has exported 39.2 million tonnes of grain so far in the 2022/23 July-June season, including 23 million tonnes of corn and 13.5 million tonnes of wheat. Ukraine's grain harvest fell sharply in 2022 due to the Russian invasion to 53 million tonnes from a record 86 million tonnes in 2021.
