![]() By The Maritime Executive, 08/11/2018 The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority has signed a memorandum of cooperation with the port authorities of two Egyptian ports: Alexandria and Damietta. The agreement, signed in Kyiv in the Ukraine on November 2, involves the establishment of a bilateral working group with representatives of shipping lines, traders and port operators to stimulate the implementation of joint projects. It also provides for information exchange to assist shipping companies, importers, exporters and forwarders, exchange of experience in port modernization and the development of IT services and technologies.
![]() (Marc Metdepenningen, Le Soir, 23/05/2018) Un arrêt de la Cour européenne des droits de l’Homme (CEDH), rendu ce mardi, a contraint les juges basés à Strasbourg de se plonger dans la politique agricole de l’Ukraine. La CEDH reconnaît à l’Ukraine le droit de mettre en place des mesures restrictives pour protéger l’intérêt général, mais relève que le « moratoire sur les terres » de 1991 devait expirer en 2005. Cet arrêt est aussi une première pour la CEDH. Son analyse, sous l’angle des droits de l’Homme, rejoint celle du FMI - Fonds Monétaire International - qui, sous l’angle économique, a enjoint à l’Ukraine d’ouvrir son marché foncier pour assurer la liberté des échanges et favoriser les investissements dans un secteur dont le développement est freiné par le morcellement des terres et le recours à un matériel obsolète.
![]() The winter conditions favored crops all over the region. In particular, Ukrainian winter crops were rated the best in four years. But this year’s abnormally cold March induced a very late start and a slow pace of seeding early spring crops in the Black Sea region. Thus, taking all of the above factors into account, UkrAgroConsult predicts a 5-6% year-on-year decrease in the Black Sea grain crop due to lower harvests of wheat and barley, as well as decrease of the exports |
![]() By UkrAgroConsult, 27/11/2018 According to the Ag Ministry’s forecast, the 2018 grain crop in Ukraine will reach its highest since the country’s independence. The record rise in grain production is accounted for by an abundant crop of corn, which is estimated by the Ministry to amount to 34.8 MMT, reports UkrAgroConsult. The corn harvest was 94% complete as of November 26, 2018. Farmers had obtained 32.9 MMT of grain (21.1 MMT in 2017) with an average yield of 7.64 MT/ha (5.35 MT/ha in 2017).
![]() By UkrAgroConsult, 09/11/2018 Ukraine exported 283.7 KMT of corn in September 2017/18, or 137.8% more than in the same month last year. This is also the largest September volume since MY 2012/13, reports UkrAgroConsult. As a reminder, Ukrainian corn exports in the 2017/18 season were down 17.7% year-over-year. The biggest importers this past season were the EU, China, and Egypt.
![]() 07.05.2018| UkrAgroConsult After wet and cool conditions in beginning of spring, it is now time for heat waves! The end of April and the beginning of May featured record high air temperatures for this time of year in Ukraine. The average daily air temperature varied within +9.9-20.00С, or 3.5-10.10С above normal, reports UkrAgroConsult. Air temperatures on the warmest days increased to 25-300С; the ground surface warmed to +40-550С in the daytime.

These agrometeorological conditions over the last week were unfavorable for normal growth and development of winter and spring cereals.
![]() The XV International Conference "Black Sea Grain-2018" concluded its work. On April 18-19 in Kiev, Ukraine was successfully held the XV Anniversary International Conference “Black Sea Grain: Moving Up the Value Chain” organized by consulting agency UkrAgroConsult. The 15th Anniversary conference once again proved its status of one of the largest global grain forums, having brought together over 700 delegates from 400+ companies and 50 countries. Among them were Ukrainian and international crop producers and processors, traders, agricultural holdings, investment companies and banks, logistics, insurance, legal and other firms. It is important to remind that Ukraine is about to be one of the main grain producer in the world ( in particular for wheat), exporting to all around the world like its neighbour Russia is. |
