Increase in Exports of Sunflower and Soybean Oil

The main driver of this positive trend was sunflower oil: its export more than doubled – over 120% in both monetary and physical terms. Additionally, shipments of soybean oil also rose by approximately 28% compared to the previous month.

Export Structure and Key Markets

The majority of Ukrainian vegetable oils in October were sent to European Union countries – nearly 60% of the total export volume. Another 35.2% went to Asian markets. Among the main importers of Ukrainian oil are the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, and India.

It is worth noting that in October, the international price index for vegetable oils increased by 0.9%, reaching its highest level since July 2022. Prices for palm, rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower oils rose due to a combination of factors, including increased demand for biofuels and delays in harvesting in the Black Sea region.
