The Ukrainian wheat market enters the 2026/27 season with strong export potential despite a challenging pricing environment.

Large carry-in stocks and expectations of a good Black Sea crop remain the key market factors.

Ukraine’s wheat crop estimate remains close to 23 M mt, while export potential may exceed 20 M mt.

Limited forward sales by farmers have increased buyer activity and helped stabilize the market.

According to UkrAgroConsult, the balance between supply, logistics and competition will shape market developments during the season.
