Agricultural product exports fell by 25%: reasons for the sharp decline.

According to inkorr.com: In September 2025, Ukraine exported 3.7 million tons of agricultural products, which is 6.5% less than in the previous month. This was reported by the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club.

According to UACB data, agricultural product exports decreased by 25% compared to September of last year. The main reasons for this decline were delays in harvesting by 2-3 weeks and the introduction of tariffs on the export of soybeans and rapeseed, which significantly reduced shipment volumes. It was noted that the export of oilseeds decreased by 53%.

In September 2025, the structure of agricultural exports was as follows:

• Cereals: 2.4 million tons (wheat - 86%, barley - 12%, corn - 2%). Decrease compared to the previous month: -1%;
• Oilseeds: 322.4 thousand tons (rapeseed - 73%, soy - 24%, flax - 2%). Decrease: -53%;
• Vegetable oils: 313.3 thousand tons (sunflower - 53%, rapeseed - 35%, soybean - 12%). Increase: 48%;
• Meal after oil extraction: 281.0 thousand tons (sunflower - 62%, soybean - 38%). Increase: 0%;
• Other types of agro-industrial products: 340.0 thousand tons. Increase: +5%.

Forecasts for the Future

Next month, we expect an activation of agricultural product exports due to an increase in the volumes of collected late crops and the optimization of the export processes for soybeans and rapeseed

According to the information from the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club, in September 2025, there was a decline in the export of agricultural sector products from Ukraine, but in the near future, positive changes are expected due to the increase in harvest volumes and the improvement of export processes.
