KIEV: Since the beginning of 2015, Ukraine exported about 15 KMT of corn starch. This is 28% more than during the same time period last year (10.8 KMT).
Meanwhile, production increased by 5% – to 36.6 KMT (34.6 KMT in 2014). In Ukraine corn starch is produces only by Dnepropetrovsk region. With an increase in export demand, it makes sense to boost processing of corn, especially when raw material base is more than enough in Ukraine. CIS countries, especially Russia, were the main importers of Ukrainian corn starch.
