Ukraine: Disruption of consumer markets and factors for their recovery (starch, flour, feed)

Since long ago, Ukraine has been possessing a powerful raw material base for the production of many promising products, including starches, and this will continue in the future. The war showed how fragile are the export channels for grain sales, which until recently seemed unshakable.

The disruption of well-established sales chains exposed many problems in the agricultural sector and showed the reverse side of the Ukrainian economy’s direct dependence on raw material exports.

Even in the face of uncertainty and the difficulty of building long-term strategies, Ukrainian companies are actively interested in the grain-processing sector, including the production of starches, sugar products, flour, compound feed, and amino acids.

This interest is maintained not only by attractive, relatively low domestic prices for grain, but also by persistent demand from key consuming industries, including animal husbandry, producers of flour, sausages, milk-containing, confectionery products, beverages etc.
