The European Union remained the leading destination for Ukrainian soybean meal, accounting for 71% of total exports. Significant volumes were also sent to Turkey and Egypt — approximately 16,000 tons and 11,000 tons, respectively. An important event was the resumption of supplies to China after a year-long pause: in November, about 1,000 tons of soybean meal were exported to this country, marking only the second instance of exports in this direction.
