Turkey and Egypt became the largest importers of Ukrainian soybeans at the end of the year

Turkey became the largest importer of Ukrainian soybeans in 2025, purchasing 1.085 million tons, which is 31.8% of total exports of this crop, according to the State Customs Committee.

Egypt took second place with an import volume of 501 thousand tons, or 14.7% of the total, followed by the Netherlands – 431.8 thousand tons (12.6%), Germany – 241.8 thousand tons (7.1%). The high concentration of exports in several key markets indicates stable demand for Ukrainian soybeans from countries with developed processing industries and livestock sectors.

At the same time, this supply structure emphasizes the importance of further diversifying the geography of sales and expanding presence in Asian and European markets, which will reduce logistical risks and strengthen the price stability of Ukrainian exporters.
