KIEV: Since the beginning of the current season Ukraine has imported 21.7 KMT of rice. This is 19% less than during the same time period last year (26.8 KMT).
This trend was triggered by increasing rice production in Ukraine in the 2015/16 season due to expansion of the planted area. In 2015 gross crop of rice was 34% higher than last year (58.9 KMT compared with 43.9 KMT in 2014).
India and Pakistan still remain the major suppliers of rice to Ukraine. In July-November of the 2015/16 season their share in the total imports of rice to Ukraine equaled 72.5%.
