Tridge summary

In the 2022/23 growing season, the sown area of rapeseed increased by 24% compared to the previous year, but there was a decrease in yield and an increase in losses of winter rapeseed. The share of rapeseed exports increased to over 94%, with a longer export season and a shift towards ground logistics. Additionally, Eastern European countries have agreed to continue banning imports of Ukrainian agricultural products, except for transit, which will impact the export season. However, the decline in rapeseed crop in Australia and the weather in the EU are expected to support the demand for rapeseed from Ukraine.
