KYIV, March 21 (Reuters) – Ukraine has resumed exports of
maize to Iran, which has been hit by international sanctions,
with a shipment of 30,000 tonnes made on March 13, analysts and
traders said on Thursday.

The last shipments of maize to Iran were in November 2012,
when Ukraine, the world’s fourth-largest maize exporter in
2011/12, sent a total of 124,000 tonnes of the commodity.
