orn is one of the most popular grain crops in Ukraine, and this is not surprising, given its high yield and versatility. This grain is used as animal feed, as well as in the food industry for the production of corn flakes, starch and other products. However, corn also plays an important role in Ukraine’s exports.

Ukraine exported more than 25 million tons of corn, which is a significant part of the country’s grain exports. Corn is exported to various countries including Japan, Iran, Turkey and China.

The export of corn is of great importance for the Ukrainian economy, as it is a significant source of income for many agricultural enterprises in the country. In addition, the high demand for corn on the world market contributes to an increase in its price, which also has a positive effect on the Ukrainian economy.

However, in order to maintain high export performance of corn, Ukraine must continue to develop its infrastructure and modernize production. This will help improve the quality of corn and make it more competitive on the world market.

In general, corn export plays an important role in the Ukrainian economy, and its importance continues to grow every year.
