KYIV, Nov 1 (Reuters) -Ukraine's October grain exports rose 58.6% to 3.95 million metric tons from 2.49 million tons a year earlier on higher shipments of corn, barley and wheat, the agriculture ministry said on Friday.

This included 7.7 million tons of wheat, 4.7 million tons of corn and 1.7 million tons of barley.
Ukraine's government and farm associations have agreed to limit wheat exports in the 2024/25 season to 16.2 million tons to retain sufficient supplies for the domestic market.
Traders have used almost 47.8% of the agreed wheat export quota so far. There are no curbs on exports of other commodities.
