Ukraine's Agriculture Ministry asked traders to cap milling wheat exports at 200,000 tonnes per month in January and February despite a large volume of wheat in stocks, traders said on Tuesday. The suggested limits are not obligatory, traders said. The ministry could not be reached for comment. February exports of wheat from Ukraine ranged from 188,000 tonnes to 446,000 tonnes in the previous three years, with milling wheat comprising about half the total.
"They (the ministry) asked us to export 200,000 tonnes of milling wheat in January and in February and then to meet again to consider a future strategy," a foreign trader said after a meeting of top grain exporters and the ministry's officials. Traders said the ministry wanted to keep as much wheat in stock as possible because it was uncertain how much the next harvest, in July, would yield. Agriculture Minister Oleksiy Pavlenko said on Saturday Ukraine had no plan to restrict grain exports and would instead meet with traders to plan the year ahead as normal, after Russia introduced curbs to stabilise surging prices.
