Over the 15 days of October, Ukraine exported about 597,000 tonnes of wheat, which is 6% less than in the first half of September, but 9% higher than this figure for the first half of August, the APK-Inform information and analytical agency reported.
According to the report, Spain became the main importer of Ukrainian wheat in October 2023: more than 44% of all shipments were supplied to it. In addition, significant volumes of grain were shipped to Egypt (12% of total exports) and Vietnam (10%).
Analysts also noted an increase in deliveries by rail. During this period, the share of wheat supplies by this type of transport amounted to 22% of the country's total exports, compared to 17% in the first half of September and 10% in the first half of August.
