Last week EU allowed import of 454,000 t of corn. Up to now, totally imported in EU is 7.6 million tonnes if corn from start of this season. Mostly reason is quality issue in EU corn which caused many buyers to look elsewhere for corn instead European sources.

This week EU allowed import of 190,000 t of corn. Up to now, totally imported in EU is 6.8 million tonnes if corn, compared to same period last year when imports were at 3 million tons.
