Ukraine exported 3.14 mln tonnes of rapeseed in the season-2024/25 (July 2024 – June 2025, marketing year, MY), down 15% compared to the previous marketing year and the lowest for the last three seasons, APK-Inform news agency reported.
The main reason for the decline, analysts said, was the decline in the oilseed harvest in Ukraine for several years in a row.
The experts pointed out that almost 89% of the total exports of rapeseed were to the European Union (91% in 2023/24 MY), or 2.78 mln tonnes, down 17% compared to 2024/25 MY. In terms of countries, the top three importers of Ukrainian rapeseed were Germany with the volume of over 1 mln tonnes (-18%), Belgium – 899 thsd tonnes (up 2.4 times), and the UK – 334 thsd tonnes (up 2.5 times).
“In the new season-2025/26, the downward trend of rapeseed exports is likely to continue, due to the expected minimum harvest of the crop in the last 4 years, as well as the possible introduction of the export duty for the oilseed, which is currently actively lobbied,” – the analysts said.
APK-Inform forecasts that in 2025/26 MY the exports of rapeseed from Ukraine will decrease by another 15%, to 2.7 mln tonnes.
Agrane Agro Holding has completed the harvest of winter grains and oilseeds in the 2024/25 season on 19 thou hectares in Odesa region, the company’s press service reports.
The agricultural holding specified that it harvested winter wheat from an area of over 6 thou hectares, winter rapeseed from over 7 thou hectares, winter barley from over 4 thou hectares, and winter peas from over 1 thou hectares.
Agrane harvested the crops using modern high-performance machinery, which minimized crop losses, accelerated the pace of work, and maintained high grain quality. The yields for most crops met the targets and in some places even exceeded them, the report says.
It is specified that currently the entire harvest is delivered to Agrane elevators, where it undergoes multi-level quality control and, if necessary, is dried before storage.
“It is crucial for us not only to organize a fast and well-coordinated harvesting process, but also to ensure that the crops remain of high quality. We carefully plan each stage of the campaign – from monitoring crop maturation to logistics and preparing the infrastructure for grain storage,” said Taras Kornienko, Chief Agronomist of Agrane Group.
“Agrain is engaged in the cultivation and storage of grains and oilseeds, as well as livestock farming. Before the full-scale Russian invasion, the agricultural holding included 11 agricultural enterprises. It cultivated about 110,000 hectares in Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Odesa, and Cherkasy regions.
The holding is owned by SAS Investcompagnie (France).
