The document is a report on grain production and exports in Ukraine from 2001-2017. Some key points:
- Grain production has increased significantly from around 35 million metric tons in 2001 to over 70 million metric tons in recent years. Exports have also risen but at a slightly slower pace.
- Wheat, corn, and barley are the largest crops. Wheat production was around 27 million metric tons in 2017/2018 while corn was nearly 25 million tons.
- Transportation and export capacity will need to continue expanding to accommodate rising production levels. The number of railcars transporting grain and average monthly exports have both increased year-over-year.
- Global grain import demand is forecasted to rise
