One of the pressures on the price situation was a decrease of traders' purchases in Big Odessa ports on the background of uncertainty about the prolongation of the "grain agreement" after the expiration of its second term in March and low rates of export shipments in this direction. In addition, prices were affected by further strikes of Polish agricultural producers against the export of Ukrainian grain, which brings down the prices of their products, despite the announced program of state support. It should also be noted that part of the price decrease was also due to rather high stocks of corn at agricultural producers, but the issue of its quality and forecasted reduction of areas sown with corn limited the influence of this factor.
Demand prices for maize on the border with Poland dropped to 200-215 USD/t DAP, and with Hungary and Slovakia to 205-225 USD/t DAP.
On the positive side, Ukrzaliznytsia reported a reduction in queues at western border crossings to 14,944 wagons and average waiting time for a wagon in queue to 7.6 days. However, the situation remains uneven, in particular, the waiting time for delivery at the Batevo - Jepereshki crossing point (currently the leader in grain transportation by land) reached 15 days. Also the crossing with Poland - Izov - Grubeshuv and with Slovakia - Chop - Chierna nad Tisou remain quite busy. At the same time UZ plans to launch 4 container trains to Europe, but the project will be presented only in May.
