Ukraine has increased its market share in the EU rapeseed meal market to 20% (137 thousand tons) in the July-March 2023/24 marketing year. Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus met 70% of the EU's needs with total supplies of about 0.5 million tons. The European Commission has approved a move to increase tariffs on imports of grain, oilseeds, and processed products from Russia and Belarus, effective July 1, 2024, leading to questions about how the EU will make up the shortfall in the new season.
