Ukraine: Oilseeds and Products Annual

For marketing year (MY) 2021/22 oilseeds will continue to remain a top planting choice for Ukrainian farmers due to higher profitability compared to grains. FAS Kyiv’s forecast for MY2021/22 sunflower production is similar to Post’s MY2020/21 estimate, while Post forecasts soybean and rapeseed production will be higher. Ukraine has an excess crush capacity, fostering competition between domestic processors and exporters. Ukraine is a net exporter of oilseeds, oil and meal, with one exception – imported palm oil is widely used in Ukraine’s domestic food processing industry.
