According to Reuters, Poland plans to start quality checks on all grain shipments from Ukraine, Deputy Agriculture Minister Michal Kolodziejczak said on 12 February, as Polish farmers across the country continued to protest against EU policies, including allowing cheap grain imports from Ukraine. Farmers began blocking roads and border crossings with Ukraine the week before.

Maize acreage in Ukraine is estimated 9% lower than last year, mainly in favour of oilseeds (soya and rapeseed). Wheat acreage would be as much as 2% higher than last season. Maize acreage in 2023 was just over 4 million hectares, which was 112% of the ministry’s original plan, but also almost 7% less than what was sown in 2022. Market analyst AgRural raises its estimate of Brazil’s 2nd maize crop from 86.3mio MT to 91.2mio MT. A different move from Conab earlier this month which dropped the 2nd crop by 3.13mio MT to 88.1mio MT.
