Traders plan to ship 63000 T Ukrainian corn to Iran
KYIV Feb 16 (Reuters) – Traders plan to ship 63,000
tonnes of Ukrainian corn to Iran in coming weeks, Kyiv-based
ProAgro agriculture consultancy said on Thursday, citing data
from Ukrainian sea ports.
It also said traders had exported 16,500 tonnes of corn and
10,500 tonnes of sunflower oil to Iran so far in February. It
was not clear how Iran had paid for the Ukrainian corn and
sunoil.
ProAgro said the cargo with corn had left Ukraine on
February 3 for Bandar Imam Khomeini (BIK) port, while a vessel
with 10,500 tonnes of sunoil left Ukraine on February 10.
Ukrainian sunoil is due to be unloaded in the Iranian port of
Bandar-e-Abbas.
