Rapeseed export prices in Ukraine rising following price hike in oil and other oilseed prices
The rise in prices on the Ukrainian rapeseed export market is being driven by rising prices in the oil sector and on the global oilseed market, according to the APK-Inform information and analytical agency.
According to the report, bid prices for non-GMO rapeseed at Ukrainian ports rose to $552-565 per tonne (CPT port). Bid prices for new-crop rapeseed also increased by $5-7 per tonne.
"The main reason for this dynamic was news about a potential increase in biodiesel production in the EU from rapeseed oil," the analysts explained.
According to the Ukroliyaprom Association, Ukrainian rapeseed oil exports increased by 2.2 times in the first eight months of the 2025/2026 marketing year, while soybean oil exports increased by 19.3% in monetary terms, allowing the industry to maintain capacity utilization amid a sunflower shortage. Currently, the share of oil and fat products in Ukraine’s total exports has reached 19.2%, amounting to $7.737 million in monetary terms.
