The Ukrainian government is removing corn and sunflower oil export license requirements. This will allow for easier export of those products from the country. The government added corn and sunflower oil with other commodities that needed export licenses after Russia invaded, effectively blocking exports. Recently, the Ukrainian Grain Association asked the government to cancel export licensing for corn and sunflower oil to allow easier export of those commodities to provide money for spring planting. The group also noted Ukraine used to be able to export about 200,000 MT of grain per day through its ports. However, using railways instead, the country can only export about 20,000 MT per day.
