Ukraine canceled grain exports quotas

During the latest round of talks between Ukraine and the European Commission, it was decided to increase grain export quotas from 20 thousand tons to 2 million tons in conclusion of a free trade area agreement between Ukraine and the EU.

Duties for grain export from Ukraine that led to the fall of shipment volumes will be preserved until the end of 2011, since the government turned down a proposal from the Agrarian Policy and Food Ministry to refuse from the duties, Deputy Director of the Ministry's Market Department Anatoliy Rozgon told journalists.
