Production of wheat, corn and rye in Ukraine in MY 2014/15 are forecast to decrease mainly due to lower projected yields. A dramatic increase in input costs for agricultural producers is expected to lead to lower input use, thus negatively affecting yields and output. Ending stocks for major grains are expected to remain at average levels while exports are projected to finish MY 2013/14 at record high levels for Ukrainian corn and wheat. Domestic consumption of feed grains in the new season may be conditioned by economic situation in the country and the opportunities for growth in industrial poultry and pork production.
