Ukraine’s Grain Exports Remain Strong Despite Ongoing Challenges

Ukraine has exported 28.2 million tonnes of grain and leguminous crops since the beginning of the 2024/25 marketing year. In the first 20 days of February 2025, shipments totaled 2.5 million tonnes, according to data from the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. These figures highlight Ukraine’s resilience in maintaining agricultural exports despite logistical difficulties and geopolitical tensions.

Breakdown of Key Grain Exports

Since the start of the season, Ukraine’s key grain exports include:

• Wheat – 11.7 million tonnes (910,000 tonnes in February)
• Barley – 2.1 million tonnes (49,000 tonnes in February)
• Rye – 10,800 tonnes (No shipments in February)
• Corn – 14 million tonnes (1.56 million tonnes in February)

Ukrainian Flour Exports Show Modest Growth

Total flour exports since the beginning of the season have reached 46,400 tonnes, with 2,900 tonnes exported in February. Wheat flour accounts for 42,900 tonnes, with 2,800 tonnes shipped last month. Although the numbers remain lower than grain exports, Ukraine’s flour industry continues to gain traction in global markets.

Ukraine’s Export Performance Compared to Last Year

In comparison, as of the same date last year, total Ukrainian grain exports stood at 27.6 million tonnes, with 3.75 million tonnes shipped in February 2024. The slight decline in February’s shipments this year is due to logistical constraints and export route adjustments.

Conclusion: Ukraine’s Grain Trade Remains Resilient

Despite ongoing geopolitical and logistical challenges, Ukraine continues to play a crucial role in global grain markets. The country’s ability to maintain high export levels underscores the resilience of its agricultural sector. As global demand remains strong, Ukraine’s grain and flour exports are expected to continue supporting international food supply chains.
