KIEV, Sept. 28 - Ukraine could impose grain export quotas, depending on how much grain the country has available, and a decision could be reached as early as next week, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said in Kiev.

"The government is assessing how much grain is available, and a decision on how much it can export will follow," Azarov said.

Azarov said he ought to know how much grain will be available by the end of this week, and a decision whether to restrict exports or not might be reached next week.
