Ukraine export flows enter a new logistics reality

UkrAgroConsult

Ukraine’s agri export market is entering a new phase where logistics flexibility becomes as important as supply itself. According to UkrAgroConsult, export activity remains strong even under infrastructure pressure.

During May 1–15, exports reached 2.3 M mt after April shipments exceeded 5 M mt, showing resilience despite seasonal slowdown.

Corn remains the main export driver and supports shipment volumes due to demand from Turkey and EU destinations.

Sunflower oil logistics continue changing as railway exports gradually gain importance while sea transport still dominates.

UkrAgroConsult notes that logistics diversification and freight conditions increasingly shape export decisions.

Transport structures reflect changing relationships between sea and rail shipments. Freight route comparisons emphasize changing market balance while export commodity structures underline the dominant role of corn and sunflower oil.
