Ministry of Agrarian Policy

Currently, alternative routes cover only about half of the needs of agricultural exports.

The financial reserve of agricultural producers in Ukraine has decreased from approximately $5 billion to $2 billion since the beginning of 2026 amid restrictions on the export of agricultural products.

The distribution of sleeves has begun for nine front-line regions. The assistance is needed because limited sea exports increase the load on existing grain storage facilities.

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy has appealed to the European Union with a request to compensate for €1.1 billion in logistical losses caused by Russian shelling.

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy has collected a total of over $45 million for programs to support temporary grain storage facilities in sleeves.

Taras Vysotskyi and Christoph Hansen discussed support for Ukrainian farmers and integration into the EU agricultural policy.

Ukraine is considering the Baltic ports as one of the alternative routes for agricultural exports amid Russian attacks on the port infrastructure of Great Odesa.

Alternative routes are yielding results, but for some products, high transportation costs make exports unprofitable.

Since the beginning of the 2026/27 marketing year, as of September 21, Ukraine has exported 4.662 million tons of grains and legumes, which is 22% less than in the same period last season.

The Ukrainian agricultural sector continues to ensure production and export of products despite restrictions on export logistics.
