Ukraine won’t impose another round of quotas on grain exports if the next harvest is “good,” Prime Minister Mykola Azarov told Christopher Smart, the U.S. Treasury’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasia.

“Should Ukraine have a good harvest, there are not going to be any limits,” Azarov told Smart yesterday at a meeting in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, according to a statement on the Cabinet’s website. The country’s farmers start harvesting winter grains in late May.
