Ministry of Agrarian 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.

It is impossible to change the minimum export prices until October, so exporters are advised to clear goods on those Incoterms bases where the prices are closest to the real ones.

Against the backdrop of the blockade of the Black Sea ports, Ukraine is turning to partner countries to increase the export of agricultural products through alternative routes.

The Ministry of Agriculture discussed with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development support for the liquidity of the agricultural sector, logistics and development of irrigation.

Ukraine is negotiating with Poland to increase rail transit and plans to increase exports through Polish ports.

The Cabinet of Ministers has expanded the possibilities of extending the payment deadlines for exporters of agricultural products.

The parties discussed the consequences of Russian attacks on the port infrastructure of Great Odesa, risks for the export of Ukrainian agricultural products and possible directions for strengthening support for Ukrainian agricultural producers from Italy.
