As of late-November, about 87 percent of Ukraine’s 2021/22 crop was harvested. Unofficial receipts were at roughly 35.0 MMT, so final production may reach or surpass USDA’s estimate of 38.0 MMT, a record.

Ukraine’s ag ministry raised its 2021/22 production estimate to 40.0 MMT. Ukraine has already shipped around 5.5 MMT of new-crop supplies—a good chunk of which has gone to China.

The record 2021/22 crop has pressured Ukraine corn prices, but steady export activity should add support, keeping U.S. pricing competitive.

Ag. Minister Roman Leshchenko stated that Ukraine’s corn crushing industry will see tax exemptions in what is expected to be an exceptionally busy season, per Maxi Grain.
