Ukrainian Grain Exports Figures for 2024/25 Marketing Year

As of January 15, Ukraine’s grain and leguminous crop exports reached 23.616 million tonnes for the 2024/25 marketing year (MY), with 1.388 million tonnes shipped in January alone. These figures were released by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, based on operational data from the State Customs Service of Ukraine.

For comparison, as of the same date last year, total shipments amounted to 20.563 million tonnes, including 2.097 million tonnes exported in January.

Breakdown of Grain Exports by Crop

Key crops contributing to Ukraine's exports this season include:

• Wheat: 10.326 million tonnes (January exports: 413,000 tonnes)
• Corn: 10.868 million tonnes (January exports: 959,000 tonnes)
• Barley: 2.008 million tonnes (January exports: 9,000 tonnes)
• Rye: 10,800 tonnes (No shipments in January)

Flour Exports Show Modest Contribution

Total Ukrainian flour exports as of January 15 reached 39,400 tonnes, of which 1,800 tonnes were shipped in January. This includes:

• Wheat Flour: 36,100 tonnes (January exports: 1,600 tonnes)

While flour exports make up a smaller share compared to grains, they remain a vital part of Ukraine’s agricultural trade.

Comparison with Previous Year

Although total exports have increased year-on-year, January’s shipments are lower compared to last year’s 2.097 million tonnes for the same period. The slower start may be attributed to logistical challenges and fluctuating market demand.

Conclusion

Ukraine’s grain exports continue to play a crucial role in global agricultural markets. With wheat and corn leading the charge, the country has already shipped over 1.3 million tonnes in the first half of January. Despite a slower pace this month compared to last year, Ukraine remains a key supplier of grains and flour to international markets.
