Starting July 1, 2026, Ukraine will begin accepting applications through the State Agrarian Registry (DAR) for participation in the open rapeseed export program, according to a press release from the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture.
“The launch of the open export program for soybeans and rapeseed is another step toward creating transparent and clear rules for the agricultural sector. We have digitized the process as much as possible so that producers can quickly submit an application through the SAR, and the government has an effective tool for administering exports,” the press service quoted Taras Vysotsky, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture, as saying.
As noted in the announcement, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who are agricultural producers may participate in the program. Applications will be submitted exclusively through the DAR system.
For rapeseed, applications will be accepted from July 1 of this year through April 1 of next year; for soybeans, from September 1 through June 1 of next year.
The program sets a maximum export volume of 5 metric tons of rapeseed per hectare of farmland and 3.5 metric tons of soybeans per hectare. During the application period, producers will have the right to adjust information regarding their planned or actual harvest once.
According to Vysotsky, the mechanism provides for maximum automation of the process without additional bureaucratic procedures or the need to obtain opinions from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
As previously reported, in May 2026, the Cabinet of Ministers amended the procedure for confirming the right of agricultural producers and agricultural cooperatives to be exempt from export duties when exporting their own soybeans and rapeseed. The new mechanism provides for automatic verification through the State Agrarian Register instead of obtaining opinions from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
