Ukraine 2022/23 grain exports at 43.6 mln T as of May 15 - ministry

KYIV, May 15 (Reuters) - Ukraine's grain exports for the 2022/23 season stood at 43.6 million tonnes as of May 15, Agriculture Ministry data showed on Monday. The ministry gave no exact comparative data for the same date a year ago but said Ukraine had exported 46.3 million tonnes of grain as of May 16, 2022.

The volume so far in the current July-to-June season included almost 15 million tonnes of wheat, 25.7 million tonnes of corn and about 2.55 million tonnes of barley.

The ministry said grain exports during May were 1.7 million tonnes as of May 15. After a blockade caused by Russia's invasion on Feb. 24 2022, access to three Ukrainian Black Sea ports was cleared at the end of last July under a deal between Moscow and Kyiv brokered by the United Nations and Turkey. A major grain grower and exporter, Ukraine's grain output is likely to have dropped to about 53 million tonnes in clean weight in the 2022 calendar year from a record 86 million tonnes in 2021. Officials have blamed the fall on hostilities in the country's eastern, northern and southern regions. The government has said Ukraine can harvest 44.3 million tonnes of grain or even up to 50 million tonnes in 2023 if weather favours. (Reporting by Pavel Polityuk, Editing by Louise Heavens)
