Agriexport

Among the most successful exporters of Ukrainian grain in 2026 are Nibulon, ADM Ukraine, Cargill, Kernel and Louis Dreyfus Company.

Russia remains one of the largest players in the global grain market, while its agricultural sector remains largely exempt from sanctions.

The Ukrainian Agricultural Business Club proposes that the government give priority status to agrologistics and port processing of agricultural products with high added value.

This is about 40% of the volumes that could be exported if logistics and ports were fully operational. In August, this figure was 33%.

Ukrzaliznytsia considers it realistic to increase the throughput capacity of the grain corridor through Moldova to 4.5 million tons per year and sees opportunities for further growth.

The association emphasized that the logistics, which is currently being rebuilt for agricultural exports, cannot fully replace the Black Sea ports.

In August, 192.8 wagons of grain were transferred through the western railway border crossings per day. This is 2.7 times more than in July.

In August-October, Ukraine may not deliver about 9 million tons of agricultural products to foreign markets due to the reduction in available export capacities.

The volume of grain cargo transportation by rail for 29 days of April amounted to 2 million 868.5 thousand tons.

USDA analysts in their April report lowered their estimate of wheat exports from Ukraine in the 2025/26 MY to 12.5 million tons compared to 13.5 million tons forecast in March.
