export

Since the beginning of the 2025/26 marketing year, Ukraine has exported 24.21 million tons of grain and leguminous crops.

If the current dynamics continue, the monthly volume of shipments may amount to only about 600 thousand tons.

The main volume of grain products, as before, is sent to Ukrainian ports.

Viktor Orban’s statements about restricting agricultural exports through Hungary are a solvable problem thanks to the ports of the Danube and Great Odesa.

Prices were supported by the increase in grain prices on a FOB basis, more active demand, restraining sales by farmers, and the weakening of the hryvnia against the dollar.

In Odesa, a scheme for minimizing taxes during the export of agricultural products of unknown origin was exposed.

The increase in the cost of logistics does not increase exporters’ income, since the pressure of freight rates is actually transferred to FOB and domestic prices in Ukraine.

From July 2025 to the beginning of February 2026, EU countries imported almost 1.04 million tons of sunflower oil, of which 950 thousand tons fell to Ukraine.

Market support was provided by speculative funds, which became more active against the background of growing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Since the start of the sea corridor, 177.7 million tons of cargo have been transported along this route, of which 106.4 million tons are grain.
