UGA named the largest buyers of Ukrainian soybeans and rapeseed

The largest importer of Ukrainian soybeans in the 2025/26 season was Turkey with 923 thousand tons, and rapeseed – Germany with 876 thousand tons.

The Ukrainian Grain Association (UGA) named the largest importers of Ukrainian soybeans and rapeseed in the 2025/26 marketing year. This was reported by Elevatorist.

The largest buyer of soybeans was Turkey – 923 thousand tons. The top five also included the Netherlands (382 thousand tons), Germany (298 thousand tons), France (159 thousand tons) and Egypt (151 thousand tons). The top 10 is rounded out by Italy, Lebanon, Poland, Greece and Romania.

Rapeseed is traditionally focused on the European market. The largest buyer was Germany — 876 thousand tons, followed by Belgium (453 thousand tons), the Netherlands (247 thousand tons), the Czech Republic (112 thousand tons) and the United Kingdom (109 thousand tons). Switzerland, France, Nepal, Greece and the USA also made the top 10.

Recall that in the 2025/26 season, Ukraine exported 2.7 million tons of soybeans and 1.82 million tons of rapeseed — significantly less than a year earlier. The UZA attributes the reduction primarily to the introduction of an export duty on the seeds of these crops.

Also, as USM wrote the day before, food wheat fell in price at ports to $202–209/t, feed wheat — to $188–199/t CPT-port.
