Since the beginning of 2024/25 MY, Ukraine exported 12.04 mln tonnes of grains and pulses as of October 21, of which 2.57 mln tonnes were shipped this month, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food reported, citing the operational data of the State Customs Service of Ukraine.
According to the report, as of the same date in 2023, the total shipments were estimated at 8.333 mln tonnes, including 1.58 mln tonnes in October.
In terms of crops, since the beginning of the current season, Ukraine has exported 7.228 mln tonnes of wheat (1.13 mln tonnes in October), 1.673 mln tonnes of barley (350 thsd tonnes), 10.6 thsd tonnes of rye (3.1 thsd tonnes), and 3.844 mln tonnes of corn (1.08 mln tonnes).
The total exports of Ukrainian flour since the beginning of the season as of October 21 are estimated at 22.7 thsd tonnes (3.8 thsd tonnes in October), including 20.6 thsd tonnes of wheat (3.3 thsd tonnes).
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food estimates grain exports in the 2024-2025 season at 40 million tons, as the volume is not a record, and the existing infrastructure will be sufficient to supply agricultural products to foreign markets, said First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotsky during a national telethon.
“This year’s harvest is somewhat smaller than the previous year due to difficult climatic conditions. Also, this year there are no carry-over balances from the previous period. Therefore, grain exports are estimated at around 40 million tons. This is not a significant and record volume. We are confident that the existing infrastructure, in particular the Danube region, land corridors, rail and road transport, and the sea corridor (…) will allow this average volume to be exported and delivered in time to the countries that need it,” he said.
Commenting on Polish farmers’ preparations to block the Ukrainian-Polish border near the Medyka checkpoint, Vysotsky confirmed that such statements were made by the Polish side.
“I want to emphasize that work is underway at the interstate level and at the level of associations to prevent these statements from being realized in any concrete actions. We show figures confirming that there is no influence of Ukrainian products on the Polish market. The vast majority of products crossing the land border are in transit and do not remain on the Polish market.
The First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy emphasized that Ukraine sees no reason to block the border and will do everything possible to prevent protests by Polish farmers.

The USAID Economic Support for Ukraine Project (USAID Project) has announced the launch of a grant program to compensate at least 20 Ukrainian agricultural logistics companies for 30% of the cost of grain handling equipment from Kobzarenko Plant LLC, the project’s press service reports on Facebook.
According to the report, the USAID support program for Ukrainian agricultural companies provides that the company buys equipment from the manufacturer for 70% of its cost, and 30% is compensated by the USAID Project. Such business support is expected to increase grain export and transshipment capacity by 2.5 million tons per year.
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with annual revenues not exceeding the equivalent of EUR40 million can purchase the equipment at a 30% discount.
This program is not available to agricultural holdings and companies that have already received assistance from USAID or will receive it in the near future, the donor organization added.
As part of the support program, companies can purchase equipment that will help improve the efficiency of grain handling processes at all key nodes of the export route, namely: mobile wagon unloader RVM-180, ground reloading bunker BNP-12 “Ark”, belt loader SN-25 in electric version.
The USAID project has expressed its readiness to compensate 30% of the cost of 51 units of equipment from Kobzarenko Plant.
