Ukrainian edible oil exports are moving from sea to land channels

Ukraine reduced vegetable oil exports through ports in February 2026, but increased them by rail.

This was reported by Spike Brokers in Telegram.

“In the oil segment, the port model is weakening. 29.1 thousand tons of oil were transported to ports, or -6.5 thousand tons (-36% y/y). The share of ports decreased to 34%. The reorientation of oil exports from the sea channel to land is ongoing,” analysts state.

At the same time, in the oil cake and meal segment, 37.6 thousand tons were transported by rail through ports (+9% y/y), the share of ports is 25%. Also, in February 2026, 1,368.0 thousand tons of grain were transported to ports, or +10.4 thousand tons (+0.8% y/y). The share of ports is stable at 91% in the total export flow of grains.

In February, 56.9 thousand tons of oil were exported via railway land crossings (+112% y/y), and the share of the border increased to 66%. The largest growth is demonstrated by Chop (+410% y/y), Batyevo (+146%), Mostyska II (+310%).

“The Western Corridor actually became the basic channel for oil exports by rail in February,” experts summarize.
