According to APK-Inform estimations, during July-January period of 2015/16 MY Ukraine exported 3.94 mln tonnes of barley, which completely corresponds to the last season index (3.97 mln tonnes in the same period). At the same time, the shipments to China and Japan increased in more than 3 times, while the countries are included to the TOP-3 of the largest importers of barley.
So, in 2014/15 MY China imported nearly 250 thsd tonnes of Ukrainian barley, or only 3% of the general imports of the grain to the country (9.9 mln tonnes, according to the USDA). In the current season, the supplies to China increased to 690 thsd tonnes, or 10% of the forecasted import volumes (7 mln tonnes). In the current season, Ukraine already supplied nearly 180 thsd tonnes of barley to Japan (or 14%), with the forecasted general imports of the grain at the level of 1.3 mln tonnes. Generally, in July-January of the current MY the reporting countries imported more than 860 thsd tonnes of Ukrainian barley, up 3 times compared with the index for the whole 2014/15 MY (283 thsd tonnes).
According to APK-Inform analysts, the global market demand for Ukrainian barley will continue developing in the future. Taking into account the significant reduction of winter crops areas for the harvest-2016, many agrarians consider spring barley as one of the major crops for replanting, as well as sunflower seed and corn.
