Китай отказался покупать украинский ячмень, сою и кукурузу.

Причина – выявление вредителей, болезней и нематод, запрещенных к ввозу в Китай, сообщает Инфоиндустрия.

В частности:

Вредители:

Стеблевой кукурузный мотылек — Ostrinia nubilalis Hubn. обнаружен в:

Ивано-Франковской области (Тлумацком, Рогатинском р-х), на площади 675,33 га;

Кировоградской области (Александровском р-не), на площади 402 га;

Тернопольской области (Подволочиском, Збаражском р-х), на площади 839 га при обследованиях посевов кукурузы.

Болезни:

Вирус полосатой мозаики пшеницы — Wheat streak mosaic virus обнаружен в:

Николаевской области (Первомайском р-не), на площади 191 га при обследованиях посевов кукурузы.

Кладоспориоз серо оливковый — Cladosporium griseo-olivaceum Pidopl. обнаружен в:

Житомирской области (Овручском и Попельнянском р-х), на площади 398 га., При обследованиях посеве кукурузы.

Вертицилий бело-черный — Verticillium albo-atrum обнаружен в:

Житомирской области (Ружинском р-не), на площади 189,1 га., При обследованиях посеве сои.

Вирус мозаики люцерны — Alfalfa mosaic virus обнаружен в:

Ровенской области (Дубенском р-не), на площади 47 га;

Черниговской области (Нежинском р-не), на площади 155 га, при обследованиях сои.

Вирус штриховатой мозаики ячменя — Barley stripe mosaic virus обнаружен в:

Донецкой области (Первомайском р-не), на площади 64,88 га, при обследованиях ячменя.

Нематоды:

Стеблевая нематода — Ditylenchus dipsaci (kuhn) filipjev. обнаружена в:

Львовской области (Бродовском р-не), на площади 247 га, при обследованиях сои.

Все хозяйства, на полях которых обнаружены вредные организмы кукурузы, сои и ячменя, были оповещены о результатах проверок и экспертиз, им было отказано в будущем экспорте зерна из зараженных площадей (как таковым, которые не соответствуют протоколам фитосанитарных и инспекционных требований КНР по кукурузе, ячменю и сое).

Ukraine sees high 2016 grain harvest, record exports (RT)

Posted on by

KIEV, Aug 17 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s 2016 grain harvest is likely to be around 63 million tonnes – 3 million more than last year, agriculture ministry official Leonid Sukhomlin said at a briefing on Wednesday.

He said better than expected weather this spring and summer had increased the yield of wheat and other grains.

Sukhomlin said that the wheat harvest could total 25.5 million tonnes in clean weight, but cautioned that the forecast might not be reliable.

“Against a background of changing rules and high taxes, some farmers prefer to hide the real volume of their output and the wheat harvest could even be 27 million tonnes,” he told Reuters.

Ukraine, one of the three top global grain exporters, harvested 60 million tonnes of grain, including 26.5 million tonnes of wheat, in 2015. Grain exports in the 2015/16 season, which runs from July to June, reached 39.4 million tonnes.

Sukhomlin also said that the harvest of maize, another top Ukrainian commodity, could reach 26 million tonnes this year, up from 23.2 million tonnes in 2015.

Ukraine’s UZA grain export union sees total grains production at 63.5 million tonnes, while exports could reach an all-time high of 41 million tonnes, UZA director Volodymyr Klimenko said at the same briefing.

Sukhomlin said this season’s exports could include 17 million tonnes of wheat. Ukraine exported 16.9 million tonnes of wheat in 2015/16.

Ukraine has exported 4.88 million tonnes of grain so far this season compared with 4.72 million a year earlier, according to ministry data.

The volume includes 2.4 million tonnes of wheat, 1.9 million tonnes of barley, 444,000 tonnes of maize and some tonnage of other grains.

WINTER SOWING

Sukhomlin said Ukrainian farmers were likely to increase the area sown for winter grains for 2017 to 7.3 million hectares from 7 million last year thanks to better weather.

Poor weather last autumn forced farmers to reduce the area under winter grains. The area under winter wheat could be up to 6.5 million hectares for the 2016/17 season, he said.

“This year the weather is much better and the final sown area will depend on it,” he said.

Ukraine is located in a risky planting zone and its winter wheat harvest is highly dependent on the moisture content in soil during the autumn sowing, air temperatures in winter and favorable weather in spring.

High productive winter wheat accounts for around 95 percent of Ukraine’s total wheat output.

Corn drops for 4th day as rains boost U.S. crop outlook

Posted on by

SINGAPORE, June 23 (Reuters) – Chicago corn slid for a fourth session on Thursday with the market hitting its lowest in more than a month as widespread rains across the U.S. Midwest lifted crop prospects.

Soybeans edged lower after firming in the last session on the back of strong demand, while wheat ticked up on support from concerns over Black Sea crops.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Storms rolled through the U.S. corn belt on Tuesday and Wednesday, easing concerns about dryness in some areas. With the crop still heading into its crucial pollination phase, which typically occurs in July in the Midwest, weather remained the focus.

* Thunderstorms were reported over parts of South Dakota, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, bringing bursts of heavy rainfall totalling more than 2 inches per hour in spots.

* That triggered liquidation of long positions by investors. Commodity funds were net sellers of Chicago Board of Trade corn futures contracts on Wednesday and net buyers of soybean futures.

* Trade estimates of fund selling in corn ranged from 3,000 to 13,000 contracts, while estimates of net fund buying in soybeans ranged from 4,000 to 8,000 contracts. COMFUND/CBT

* The soybean market was underpinned by demand for U.S. supplies. Firming CIF (cost, insurance and freight) premiums for soybeans at the U.S. Gulf export terminal fuelled talk of fresh business, in addition to sales confirmed on Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

* Soybean spot basis bids were higher at U.S. Midwest river terminals on Wednesday, with the basis extending the previous session’s steep gains on strong export demand and slow farmer sales.

* The wheat market drew support from worries about the quality of wheat crops in Russia and Ukraine.

* The rainy weather has reduced protein levels in Russian wheat and raised concerns over fungal disease while also reducing the proportion of milling wheat in Ukraine.

MARKET NEWS

* Asian shares edged up and sterling stood close to its peak for the year on Thursday, as investors were cautiously optimistic that British voters would opt to remain in the European Union at a referendum later in the session.

‘About 80%’ of Ukraine soy grown – illegally – from GM seed

About 80% of Ukraine’s soybeans, and 10% of corn, are grown – illegally – from genetically modified seed, US officials said, attributing improved seed quality in part for expectations for strong harvests this year.

The US Department of Agriculture – expanding on an initial estimate two weeks ago that Ukraine will produce a record 5.0m tonnes of soybeans this year – said the forecast reflected in part expectations of yield matching an all-time high of 2.17 tonnes per hectare, supported by genetically engineered seed.

“Although the planting of genetically modified crops is officially prohibited, estimates from private commodity analysts suggest that about 80% of Ukraine’s soybeans are genetically modified,” the USDA said.
