Change of destination for Ukraine rapeseed

Ukrainian rapeseed export campaign is nearing its close and in the first six months of the marketing year (Jul-Dec), the country exported 2.63 MMT of rapeseed, versus 2.37 MMT in same period last year. Noticeable change from the last year has been the destinations that this material went to.

Last year, the Asian trio of UAE, Bangladesh and Pakistan took only 39 KMT of Ukrainian rapeseed, this year they were responsible for 538 KMT of the country’s exports. The figure eclipsed the previous record of 537 KMT made in 2014. Among the ‘others,’ United Kingdom was the main buyer of Ukrainian produce this season.
