Ukraine exported 356,000 tons of rapeseed in the first half of the 2023/24 financial year, which is almost six times more than the previous year, setting a new record. This increase was driven by high global demand for rapeseed oil and difficulties with sunflower purchases, leading Ukrainian plants to process more rapeseed. The majority of the rapeseed oil was shipped to EU countries (54%) and China (31%) during this period.
