Situation with Grain Exports
As of early October 2025, since the beginning of the new marketing year, Ukraine has exported 6.56 million tons of grains and legumes. Last year, during the same period, this figure was 10.3 million tons. In the current season, exporters have already managed to ship 4.7 million tons of wheat and 913 thousand tons of corn.
In September, Ukraine exported 3.7 million tons of agro-industrial products, which is 6.5% less than in August. Compared to September 2024, the export reduction is 25%.
The reasons for the slowdown in shipments include delays in the harvest collection pace and the introduction of export duties on soybeans and rapeseed. However, an increase in product exports is expected in October.
