KIEV, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, passed a bill Friday on canceling duties imposed earlier on wheat and corn exports.
A total of 272 lawmakers in the 450-seat parliament voted for the bill.
Ukraine started taxing its grain exports on July 1 this year. It was initially planned that export duties of 9 percent for wheat and 12 percent for corn will be applied until Dec. 31. But Ukrainian farmers were in favor of immediate abolition of such fees.
The parliament maintained the export duties for barley, soybeans and rapeseed.
