The summer grain harvest is advancing at full speed in Ukraine with about 50 percent of the total barley area harvested and about 40 percent of wheat. Production of major grains is expected to be quite high. Average crop yields are showing good results even though adverse weather in Central and Western Ukraine had some negative effects on the overall production. Grain exports in the new marketing year are starting off well. The Government and the industry have reached an agreement on the terms of trade for the new season.
