Russia and Belarus have met 70% of the European Union's demand for rapeseed meal in the July-March 2023/2024 period, while Ukraine has increased its share to 20% (137 thousand tonnes). The European Commission's data shows that deliveries of rapeseed meal from Russia and Belarus to the EU reached approximately 0.5 million tonnes. The EU has approved an increase in customs duties on cereals, oilseeds, and processed products from Russia and Belarus, which will take effect on July 1, 2024, leading to speculation about who will take over the large stake in the new season.
