Illegal grain exports dropped UAH 134 billion

Analysts from the Bureau of Economic Security revealed that over 9 months, agricultural enterprises exported grains of unknown origin for 133.9 billion UAH. The price is 20% for the export of grains. As reported in the BES, one of the most widespread methods of “black” grain export is the production of rice production enterprises that are created for the export of bulk grain, which is added for cooking.

The mechanism is this: farmers grow grain and sell it for cooking to companies that rely on registration as fictitious persons and do not engage in regular government activity. These companies do not submit documents about the movement of grain, but rather declare them in the official declarations of successful producers. Since the grain is lost across Ukraine, it is resold several times and is then legally consumed until the final buyer. As a result, foreign exchange earnings do not return to Ukraine, and the budget is no longer needed, leaving the exporting companies to be fictitious. Consider the final buyer of grain to be a non-resident company, which transfers the cost for the goods to another non-resident associated with the Ukrainian exporter. This is also a basic scheme, in which currency is re-insurance on the account of a non-resident, who then purchases goods, for example, from China and imports them to Ukraine, in order to then realize them for preparation and sell them to other enterprises Subsidiary loan for households.
