OREANDA-NEWS. September 15, 2008. Ukraine has harvested 2.9 million tons of rape, and exported over 700,000 tons, said Yaroslav Hadzalo, Deputy Minister of Agricultural Policy.

Thus, as he put it, 2.5 million tons of rape will be exported this marketing year.

"Taking into account our grain export potential, plus rape, some soy and other seeds, we practically load our port capacities by maximum - about 26 million tons of crops on the whole," the deputy minister said.
