According to the official statistics figures, in September Ukraine imported 4.5 thousand tons of rye, including 90% of the grain of Belarusian origin.
In March-July Ukraine purchased Belarusian rye at rather large-scale cargo lots (2.2-5.3 thousand tons per month), but in July-August the country bought small-scale shipments of rye from the EU (379 tons only).
At the same time, since February imports of rye flour (mostly from Belarus) continue demonstrating rather high results: within 2.2-5.7 thousand tons per month. (APK-Inform/Business World Magazine)
