Wheat flour exports from Ukraine in the 2025/2026 season may amount to 65,000 tons, which is 2.6% lower than in the previous marketing year (67,000 tons), according to the information and analytical agency APK-Inform.

Analysts noted that in the first seven months of the 2025-2026 marketing year (MY, July-June), shipments to foreign markets amounted to 37.5 thousand tons, which is 7% less than in July-January of the previous season. In particular, in January 2026, exports fell by 23% to 4.3 thousand tons.

The main consumers of Ukrainian flour remain Moldova with a share of 30%, Palestine with 20%, and the Czech Republic with 16%. At the same time, the volumes of purchases by key importers decreased: Moldova imported 11.4 thousand tons (-8%), Palestine — 7.3 thousand tons (-10%), and the Czech Republic — 5.9 thousand tons (-32%). At the same time, analysts recorded an increase in demand from Israel and Spain, which purchased 3 thousand tons and 2.7 thousand tons, respectively, during the specified period.

Analysts attribute the decline in export estimates to a reduction in domestic production. In July-January 2025/26 MY, Ukraine produced 510.5 thousand tons of flour, which is 10% less than in the previous season, according to APK-Inform.
