Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, posted 24 September 2026 12:19

In the first 21 days of September, Ukraine exported 1.6 million tonnes of agricultural products, representing 43% of the planned volume. Despite challenging logistics, export shipments are recovering in September, with the share of higher value-added products continuing to grow.

This was announced by Ukraine's Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Taras Vysotskyi, during his weekly briefing with media outlets.

Between 1 and 21 September, Ukraine exported:

  • 960,000 tonnes of grain — 38% of the planned volume
  • 275,000 tonnes of oilseeds — 75%
  • 190,000 tonnes of oil — 55%
  • 173,000 tonnes of meal — 41%

"The share of grain is the lowest, while the shares of oilseeds, oil, and meal are higher. This means the priority given to exporting higher value-added products remains in place. In addition, the domestic food market remains well supplied with the main types of socially important food products and vegetables. The State Statistics Service's weekly price monitoring has not recorded any abnormal or speculative price increases," said Taras Vysotskyi.

At the same time, due to damage to certain storage facilities and difficult logistics, short-term supply disruptions for individual products and a slight price increase of around 2.5% are possible.

The Minister also commented on state support funding for the agricultural sector in 2027. The draft State Budget allocates UAH 7.4 billion for this purpose, including:

  • UAH 265 million from the general fund — in line with the 2026 level
  • Approximately UAH 2.5 billion from the special fund, provided by the EU
  • UAH 1.6 billion in revenue from export duties on soybeans and rapeseed — based on actual figures
  • An additional UAH 307 million in revenue from lease payments for state-owned land managed by the Ukrainian State Land Bank

According to him, based on actual revenues, the 2027 budget provides for approximately UAH 300 million more for the agricultural sector compared to the actual 2026 figures.
