This season's weather conditions were less favorable for crop development and, also lead to delayed harvesting. As reported by the Ministry of Economy as of Nov 14th, grain and oilseeds harvest was still in progress with interim results at 63mt (incl. 23mt of wheat) vs 70mt as of the same date in 2024. Final harvest is projected at 79mt
Winter crops sowing was 95% completed, with 6mha planted for 2026 harvest
The 9M25 grain and oilseeds' exports from Ukraine were 40% lower y-o-y at 28mt on reduced supply of later harvested crops and introduction of export duties on soybeans and rapeseeds. 95% of exports were handled via the seaports. Astarta's share in exports was 1%
The main grain and oilseeds exports destinations were MENA (52%) and the EU region (33%)
Global wheat prices slightly decreased amid sufficient supply and favorable harvest prospects. Corn price grew by 2% y-o-y to EUR203/t on lower corn harvest in the EU and news about trade agreements between China and the US
Source: APK-inform
Active demand from domestic processors and exporters combined with insufficient supply contributed to domestic price increases, leading to 47% y-o-y growth of corn prices to EUR206/t, wheat prices up by 36% y-o-y to EUR199/t
