Soybean and rapeseed planted areas are projected to grow for MY2017/18. Sunflowerseed area will
likely shrink. Excess crush capacity will stimulate more crush for soybeans and rapeseed, and further
boost exports of oil and meal for those crops from Ukraine.

Executive Summary:
Overall, the oilseed planted area in Ukraine in marketing year (MY) 2017/18 is forecast to decrease
mainly due to lower planted areas under sunflower (down 14 percent, reaching 5.2 million hectares (mln
ha) compared to 6 mln ha for MY2016/17). Although sunflower seeds offer the best profitability for
farmers, they cannot maintain ever expanding areas due to exponential growth of production costs when
crop rotation requirements are not met. For this reason, crop area has remained relatively stable during
the last five years. Please note, for the purpose of this report, the term “profitability” means the ratio
between variable costs and sales of producers for different crops reported by the State Statistic Service
of Ukraine (SSSU).
The decrease of sunflower area will likely be partially offset by an increase of planted area under
soybeans to 2.2 mln ha for MY2017/18, a 19-percent increase compared to the 1.8 mln ha planted in
MY2016/17. It should also be noted that crop rotation constraints are not a significant limiting factor for
soybean area, as is the case for sunflowers.
Rapeseed planted areas for MY2017/18 are forecast at the level of 900 thousand ha, a 97-percent
increase compared to the 457 thousand ha planted in MY2016/17, which was a record low for Ukraine.
The expansion of production area under this crop could be triggered by the hike of domestic prices
caused by the lack of the product on the market in 2016. This could have encouraged farmers to start
actively planting winter rapeseed, which contributes over 90 percent of the total output of this crop.
According to official data (please refer to Table 1 and the graph below), in 2015 oilseed crops in
Ukraine maintained relatively strong profitability and this trend is expected to continue. It should be
noted that the increased profitability for all major crops is largely attributed to constant competition
between exporters and crushers for stocks available on the domestic market.

It is anticipated that agricultural crop production in 2017 will be impacted by the following factors:
competition between exporters and crushers over stocks available on the market;
excess of crush capacity forcing processors to maintain competitive prices;
local currency (Hryvna - UAH) continues its devaluation favoring exports of oilseeds as well as
products of processing thereof (oils and meals);
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 4 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
stabilized political situation in the country translating into the slow but renewed economic
growth for national economy;
reduced state support for agricultural producers (please refer to the Policy Section for more
details) in the New Tax Code for 2017.
The above-mentioned factors are deterministic to Ukraine’s farmers who would have lower transaction
costs for doing business as well as being able to plan for production costs for the 2017 season. They will
likely receive competitive domestic prices for their products. At the same, time decreased state support
might lead to reduced volume of the turnover funds at the beginning of the spring 2017 planting season,
when farmers rely on those funds to ensure completion of planting for spring crops.
Macroeconomic Impact
Ukraine’s present political and economic crisis has led to a significant devaluation in the local currency
(Hryvna – UAH) and a number of trade-related problems associated with the devaluation’s inflationary
tail-end effect. The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) for years sought monetary policies aimed at
maintaining stable exchange rates. The target currency for this approach was the U.S. dollar, despite the
fact that trade with U.S. was not significant compared to trade with the Russian Federation before 2013,
or the current trade with the EU. The policy of a fixed exchange rate limits trade activity. Trade
imbalances have depleted the country’s foreign currency reserves, which may lead to periodic currency
crises that outweigh the positive impact of a stable exchange rate. Significant political and economic
shocks undermined UAH stability in 2014, resulting in an abrupt devaluation that is still continuing,
although at moderate rate, into the beginning of 2017.
Total currency devaluation in 2016 was on the level of 14 percent, which was much lower than it was in
2015 (please refer to Official Exchange Rate graph above). This devaluation has stimulated exports out
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 5 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
of the country. Although the Government of Ukraine is taking measures to stabilize national currency,
its devaluation is still expected for 2017.
Moderate inflation of the national currency had a favorable influence on business models for local
farmers, as well as chemical and seed importers. According to the available numbers (please refer to
Table below: Selected Agricultural Input Imports) in 2016 the market has recovered from the shocks
experienced during the last couple of years and farmers invested heavily into cash crops that could be
sold on international markets for hard currency, including grains and oilseeds.

Commodities: Oilseed, Sunflowerseed
Production:
Production of sunflowerseed in Ukraine in MY2017/18 is forecast to decrease to 11.2 MMT, 18 percent
lower compared to the 13.7 MMT produced in MY2016/17 in accordance with the official report by the
SSSU. This forecast for production volume is based on the assumption that sunflower planted area in
MY2017/18 will remain similar to that of MY2015/16 (please refer to PSD table at the end of this
section).
It should be noted that sunflower areas in Ukraine remained relatively stable within the last five years,
varying between slightly below 5 mln ha (2013) up to almost 5.3 mln ha (2014). However, 2016 was the
exception to this pattern. In the fall of 2015 farmers abstained from planting winter wheat due to
decreasing domestic prices as well as unfavorable weather conditions that could have resulted high
winterkill rates. For more details about weather conditions for autumn 2015, please refer to our GAIN
Report UP1540. As a result, they allocated available areas and resources for sunflower seed production
in spring 2016, which translated into the surge of sunflower production for MY2016/17.
Thus, it can be argued that production area for this crop has reached its optimum level, dictated by crop
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 6 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
rotation patterns, and area will likely remain stable barring drastic changes in global demand for this
crop from domestic processors or significant changes in demand for its derivative products.
According to industry representatives, sunflowerseed production volumes could be increased only
through use of more advanced hybrids and improved farming technologies; and since the national
economy stabilized in 2016 producers are increasing their costs for imported agricultural inputs,
including high-quality hybrid seeds (please refer to the above Table: Selected Agricultural Input
Imports). As such, Post forecasts MY2017/18 sunflowerseed yields will be slightly above the five-year
average. The forecasted yield is subject to future revisions, depending on actual weather conditions
during the growth period.
During the past few seasons Post has been adjusting sunflower production quantities reported annually
by the SSSU to produce estimates that, in USDA’s view, better reflect the true situation of the industry
in Ukraine. Ukraine’s historic sunflower oil exports were one of the most significant pieces of data used
to support these production estimate calculations. Other data like domestic sunflower oil consumption
(which has been relatively steady year over year), as well as industry data and other sources, were used
to estimate the most reasonable sunflower seed, oil and meal production estimates.
Consumption:
Almost all sunflowerseed produced in Ukraine is crushed domestically, which has been the case over
the last decade since export duties for sunflowerseed were introduced in 1999. A small share of
sunflowerseed is consumed raw for food and by the confectionary industry. Crush and consumption
statistics for the last few seasons were revised by Post to correspond with officially reported sunflower
oil production and exports, and to better reflect industry trends.
The sunflower seed crush for MY2016/17 is forecast to reach 13.4 MMT, a 15-percent increase
compared to the previous MY, which is proportional to the growth in sunflowerseed production
numbers. The only factor that might significantly lower crush numbers for Ukraine is a significant
decrease and/or total abolishment of the 10 percent export duty for sunflower seeds through changes in
legislation (please refer to Policy Section more details). Crush volume for MY2017/18 is estimated on
the level of 10.9 MMT, a 19-percent decrease compared to the previous MY and in-line with lower
estimated production (please refer to Production section for more details).
Trade:
The combination of export tariffs and excess domestic crushing capacity makes Ukraine a marginal
sunflower seed exporter. This is confirmed by decreased exports from 280 thousand MT of sunflower
seed in MY2011/12 down to 45 thousand MT in MY2014/15. Although sunflower seed exports
increased to 83 thousand MT for MY2015/16, and is forecast a further increase to 200 thousand MT for
MY2017/18, this trend is likely supported by fast and inexpensive logistics for small batches of seeds
designated to the EU, which is the single largest market for this commodity. This dynamic could be
reversed in the event of significantly lower and/or abolishment of export duties (discussed in the
Consumption Section above).
Seed imports during September– December 2016 for spring plantings remained higher compared to the
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 7 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
same period of the previous year and reached similar volume as for MY2014/15 (please refer for more
details to graph below and Statistical Tables at the end of this report). This suggests that farmers made
planting decisions early and signed contracts for seed shipments in advance. Another factor that may
have led to early seed imports could be that Ukrainian authorities responsible for seed
certification/registration underwent a restructuring process at the beginning of 2017. Leading seed
importers might have initiated imports earlier to get shipments processed under the former rules and
avoid uncertainties related to the government’s new certification process.
In MY2015/16, the Ukrainian market for imported sunflower seed was split between producers from the
U.S. – 31.2 percent of total import volume; Turkey – 32.7 percent; and the EU – 25.2 percent. The same
market share distribution was observed at the beginning of MY2016/17. It should be noted that for
September-December 2016, export volume from Turkey increased 4 times compared to the same period
of 2015; EU exports increased 2.6 times; and the U.S. by 33 percent. The growth from Turkey and EU
Member-States could be attributed to the fact that their geographic proximity to Ukraine allows shorter
timelines of delivery allowing a great deal of flexibility for farmers who are making planting decisions
between December-March.
Production, Supply and Demand Data Statistics:
Both Post’s sunflower import and export estimates for MY2016/17 are 33 percent higher than USDA’s

Commodities:
Oilseed, Soybean
Production:
The soybean planted area in Ukraine in MY2017/18 is forecast to increase to 2.2 mln ha, 19 percent
higher compared to the 1.8 mln ha planted in MY2016/17. Production is projected to reach 4.6 MMT in
MY2017/18 under the assumption of expected yields at the average level for five previous years. This
would result in an 8-percent increase compared to the 4.3 MMT produced in MY2016/17. The
following factors would favor an expansion of soybean production in Ukraine:
Good profitability on soybean production during previous years (please refer to Executive
Summary section for more details);
Strong demand from exporters as well as excess domestic crushing capacity that ensures
competitive farm-gate prices;
Low costs for Ukraine’s soybean exports due to geographic proximity to its major consumers in
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 9 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
Turkey, the EU and Egypt;
Favorable soil moisture and other climatic conditions for the production of soybeans in Ukraine
(mainly north-central regions).
Soybean profit margins for agricultural producers in Ukraine over the last seven years were positive,
and for the last three years they significantly surpassed that of rapeseed and grains. According to SSSU
data, soybeans remained among those profitable crops in 2015 (please refer to Table 1) and the similar
level of profitability might be expected for 2017. This makes the crop more attractive to local farmers
since production costs and technologies are less expensive compared to other crops (e.g. sunflower).
Production of Genetically Engineered (GE) crops in Ukraine is still not allowed since none have passed
the official registration and approval process. However, industry rumors still indicate that Roundup
Ready soybeans continue to be produced in the country. For more information about the biotechnology
regulatory system in Ukraine, please refer to our GAIN Biotechnology Report UP1619.
Consumption:
Soybean domestic consumption in MY2017/18 is forecast to reach almost 2 MMT, a 23-percent
increase compared to MY2016/17 estimates that totaled 1.6 MMT. This assumption is based on a
scenario of growth of soybean crush (up to 1.3 MMT for MY2017/18) stemming from average
sunflower seed production and excess crush capacity (discussed in Production section for this crop).
This should force crushers to buy more soybeans from the market to ensure efficient utilization of their
facilities. Typically over 20 percent of soybeans produced in Ukraine are consumed by the domestic
crushing industry and a decrease of sunflower seed supply would be substituted with soybeans for
crush.
Trade:
Over half of all soybeans produced in Ukraine are traditionally exported. For MY2017/18 soybean
exports are forecast to reach 2.6 MMT, 3 percent below the 2.7 MMT estimated for MY2016/17. A
major reason for this decrease is increased activity of the crushing industry as described in the
Consumption section above.
It should be noted that prices for soybean meal is the main factor influencing the ratio between soybean
exports and those destined for processing in Ukraine. Soybean meal accounts for over 80 percent of
output from soybean processing. Decreased global prices for this product would likely result in
increased exports of unprocessed soybeans.
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 10 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
Over MY2015/16, as well as the first half of MY2016/17, domestic farmers enjoyed relatively stable
prices for soybeans with a few hikes associated solely with volatility of the national currency. Also, the
graph above shows a close match between local prices and export (FOB) prices. Such a trend might be
the indication of tight competition between exporters and the local processing industry, which should
ensure sufficient volumes of raw materials to keep its crush facilities running.
For MY2015/16 over 80 percent out of 2.4 MMT of soybeans exported were shipped to a number of
buyers in the Middle East and Africa, and for MY2016/17 exports flowed to the same geographical
areas (please refer to Statistical Tables at the end of this report for more details). Soybean imports were
minimal varying between 3-5 thousand MT during last three year and consisted of mainly planting
seeds. Those imports grew during last few years in-line with the expansion of production areas under
this crop.

Commodities:
Oilseed, Rapeseed
Production:
According to a report by the SSSU in 2016, farmers have already planted almost 900 thousand ha of
winter rapeseed. Traditionally, over 90 percent of all rapeseed sown in Ukraine is winter rape, thus these
areas would form the foundations for future harvest. Given that autumn and winter weather conditions
were generally favorable, the Ministry of Agricultural Policy and Food of Ukraine (MAPF) reported
almost no winterkill as of mid-February 2017. However, MAPF’s report indicates almost 20 percent of
rapeseed as weak and trim, which might require replanting some of these areas in the spring 2017.
Based on this information, Post’s rapeseed planted area forecasts set at 900 thousand ha for MY2017/18
– 96 percent above the MY2016/17 level. Based on forecast production area around 800 thousand ha
and average yields, production of rapeseed is forecast to reach 2.1 MMT for MY2017/18 – 82 percent
higher than the production volume in MY2016/17, when low production volumes resulted from
abnormally dry weather in fall 2015, preventing farmers from planting winter rapeseed. For more details
about weather conditions for autumn 2015, please refer to our GAIN Report UP1540.
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 12 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
Consumption:
Domestic rapeseed crush volumes mainly depend on processors’ ability to accumulate stocks of other
oilseeds (soybeans and sunflower seeds) to ensure seamless operation of their crushing facilities. Should
they be low on stocks, they are willingly competing with exports. Growth of overall oilseed crush
capacity in Ukraine drives production and subsequent exports of rapeseed oil and meal. The rapeseed
crush in MY2017/18 is forecast to reach 750 thousand MT, 2.4 times higher compared to the estimated
220 thousand MT for MY2016/17. This assumption is valid under scenario of average sunflower seed
production volumes for MY2017/18 (please refer to Production section for this crop) forcing processors
to use rapeseed as substitute.
Trade:
In MY2016/17, domestic rapeseed prices grew on the news of lower-than-expected production volumes
(please refer to graph below). This crop is extensively used for biofuel production, especially on the EU
market.
In MY2015/16, Ukraine exported almost 1.4 MMT of rapeseed, a 27-percent decrease compared to the
previous MY. The same downward trend was observed for July-December 2016, a 33-percent drop
from the same period in 2015. This might be associated with decreased demand from the EU, which
remains the single largest customer for Ukraine’s rapeseed as well as low crop production volume. The
EU purchased 1.4 MMT in MY2015/16 or 77 percent of total export volume and it is expected to
remain a top buyer in the new season.
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 13 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
For MY2017/18, rapeseed exports are forecast at 1.3 MMT, a 47-percent increase from the 920
thousand MT estimated for MY2016/17. Typically, around 80 percent of sales occur in the first four to
five months of the season (please refer to statistical tables at the end of this report for details). This
assessment is based on an expected increase of production volumes (discussed in the Production section
above).

Production:
Production of sunflower oil has increased in Ukraine over the last decade fueled by growth in the
production of sunflower seeds – from 3.5 MMT in 2000 to 5 MMT in MY2015/16. Ukraine has turned
into a major world market supplier of sunflower oil and is set to remain in this position for the coming
season. By the end of MY2016/17, sunflower oil production in the country is estimated to reach almost
5.8 MMT, a 15-percent increase compared to MY2015/16 due to larger production volumes of
sunflower seed. And for the coming MY2017/18, sunflower oil production in Ukraine is forecast to
slightly decrease to 4.7 MMT, under the assumption that there will be decreased production areas, along
with average yields expected (please refer to the Production Section: Sunflowerseed for more details).
Demand for sunflower oil from foreign markets was the main factor behind expanding sunflower
crushing capacity in Ukraine. This commodity has been providing Ukrainian producers unbeatable
profits for almost a decade. With stable prices, sunflower seed and oil producers in Ukraine have made
relatively good profits from these products compared to grains and sugar beet producers (please refer to
Table 1 in Executive Summary).
Total oilseed crush capacity in Ukraine at the beginning of 2017 reached 18.5 MMT from 16.5 MMT a
year earlier. That expansion resulted from construction of two new facilities as well as modernization of
five existing ones during 2016. The total number includes around 3.5 MMT of crush capacity capable of
processing soybeans, as well as over 2MMT for rapeseed. The majority of newly-built processing
facilities are capable of processing various oilseeds including sunflower, soybean and rapeseed. This
allows producers to switch between different crops depending on availability of the particular oilseeds
on the market, which helps keep prices stable on the market (please refer to Sunflower Seed and Oil
Prices below). As a result, processors can keep their facilities running while decreasing their reliance on
sunflower seed producers only. That flexibility has a positive impact on their profit margins.
It should be also noted that estimates of total crush capacity in Ukraine vary widely between 16.2 to 20
MMT per year. The reason is that the many small enterprises, as well as crushing facilities that do
occasional oilseeds crushing when profit margins become favorable, cannot be accounted for with
sufficient precision.

Sunflower oil production estimates were reviewed and changed for several preceding seasons.
Undeclared sales of sunflower seed are said to exist in Ukraine, so suspected underreporting of this
oilseed and oil production is an issue every season. To revise sunflower seed, oil, and meal production
estimates, USDA relies mainly on official commodity export data and on estimated domestic sunflower
oil consumption numbers. PSD tables are located at the end of this section and reflect the most recent
changes made.
Soybean oil production continues climbing in-line with growing overall crop production; it peaked at
173 thousand MT in MY2015/16. For MY2016/17, it is forecast to reach 174 thousand MT, almost
identical to MY2015/16. The rapid build-up of sunflower crushing facilities has caused underutilized
capacities. Thus, the majority of newly-built processing facilities are capable of processing various
oilseeds, including sunflower, soybean and rapeseed. This allows producers to switch between different
crops depending on availability of the particular oilseed on the market. As a result, processors can keep
their facilities running and decrease dependence on sunflower seed producers. The added flexibility has
a positive impact on their profit margins. As a result this trend, Post forecasts soybean oil production to
reach 238 thousand MT for MY2017/18 –a 37-percent increase compared to the previous MY – based
on expected average sunflower seed production volumes for MY2017/18 as discussed in the Production
section for Sunflower Seed.
The majority of soybean crushers had underutilized capacity due to lower demand on the domestic
market for soybean meal, which is more expensive compared to sunflower meal. The potential growth
of soybean crush is tightly interlinked with the processors’ ability to sell soybean meal both to the
domestic market and overseas consumers.
Rapeseed oil largely remains a niche product for Ukraine’s crushers. Its demand goes from the EU – for
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 16 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
biofuel production; and Asian countries – for food. MY2015/16 rapeseed oil production peaked to 130
thousand MT, a 35-percent increase over volumes produced in the previous MY. This is an indication
that many large crushers in Ukraine are now able to process rapeseeds in their facilities, and thus
included this product in their portfolio to ensure that capacities were not standing idle (usually soybeans
in the second part of the marketing year and rapeseed in summer). Rapeseed oil production in
MY2017/18 is forecast to reach almost 300 thousand MT, 2.4 times higher compared to the 88 thousand
MT estimated for MY2016/17. This growth is based on SSSU’s information about increased areas under
this crop (please refer to the Production Section for Rapeseed for more details).
Consumption:
Consumption of various vegetable oils in Ukraine has been quite constant over the years. The overall
trend starting in 2010 is slightly downward (please refer to Table 2 and the graph below). Ukraine’s
slowly declining population is the main reason for the decreased use of oils in the food production
industry. Another recent factor is the producers’ inability to supply the Crimean Peninsula and the zone
of conflict in Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

This trend was especially visible for palm oil, which is used for production of vegetable oil and fats, and
indirectly in the confectionary and food processing industries in Ukraine. The decreased consumption of
these products by the domestic market, as well as the slash in exports to traditional markets in ex-USSR
countries, and especially the Russian Federation, resulted in a major fall in domestic consumption of
palm oil and triggered a subsequent cut of its imports to Ukraine.
Soybean and rapeseed oils have never been popular food products for Ukrainians, though sunflower oil
traditionally is a staple food used in salads as well as for baking and frying purposes. Ukrainians are not
used to consuming soybean or rapeseed oils for household food preparation. Thus, these oils are mostly
destined for exports as value-added products, while soybean and rapeseed meal is fed to animals.
However, there is an observed increase in consumption of soybean and rapeseed oils in the last few
years in the country, mainly coming from food processing and other industrial uses. This trend can be
explained by the fact that these oils are now produced in Ukraine in larger quantities and have become
available for domestic consumption at competitive prices.
Trade:
During September-December 2016, Ukraine exported about 1.8 MMT of sunflower oil, a 23-percent
increase from the same period of the previous year. In MY2015/16, Ukraine exported almost 4.5 MMT
of sunflower oil (please refer to statistical tables at the end of the report for more details).
Ukrainian sunflower oil is exported to over a hundred countries across the world. The EU, India, China,
Egypt, Iran, and Turkey are the traditional top buyers, with India usually collectively purchasing
between 20 and 30 percent of annual sales from Ukraine. However, the share of China and other East
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 18 of 54
UNCLASSIFIED USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
and Southeast Asian countries has been on the rise in recent seasons and this trend is projected to
continue into the rest of MY2016/17.
Overall sunflower oil exports from Ukraine in MY2017/18 are forecast to reach 4.2 MMT, 21 percent
below the level of 5.3 MMT estimated for MY2016/17 – when exports are expected to peak, driven up
by high sunflowerseed production.
In MY2015/16, Ukraine exported 152 thousand MT of soybean oil. China became the largest export
destination and bought almost 82 thousand MT. Poland become the second leading destination, buying
over 46 thousand MT, while the EU as a whole bought almost 61 thousand MT. As of September-
December 2016, the dynamics are changing and the EU became the new largest buyer with almost 22
thousand MT, followed by India at18 thousand MT. This shift came as a 90 percent decrease in export
volumes to China occurred.
Ukraine is expected to continue exporting soybean oil to various destinations in the coming seasons,
driven by growing soybean crush capacity as well as growing production areas under this crop–
stimulated by competitive prices offered to farmers by crushers that need to keep their capacities
running. Under this assumption soybean oil exports are forecast to reach over 227 thousand MT in
MY2017/18, which is 31 percent higher compared to the 173 thousand MT estimated in MY2016/17.
Ukraine’s rapeseed oil exports grew significantly, from 255 MT in MY2010/11 to over 155 thousand
MT in MY2015/16. Almost 60 percent of this volume was exported to the EU, while almost 30 percent
went to East and Southeast Asia – mainly to China. Exports to the EU market are oriented more to
biofuels production, while exports to Asian countries are used for human consumption. In July-
December 2016, rapeseed oil export reached 63 thousand MT, 50 percent lower than the same period of
2015; and over 90 percent of this volume went to the European markets. For MY2017/18, Ukraine is
forecast to export 290 thousand MT of rapeseed oil, 2.4 times higher compared to the 85 thousand MT
estimated for MY2016/17. This reflects the expected surge of rapeseed production for MY2017/18 in
contrast the poor crop for MY2016/17 (please refer to Production Section for Rapeseeds for more
information).
In MY2015/16, Ukraine has already imported 193 thousand MT of palm oil, 42 more than the previous
MY. This increase resulted from the partial economic recovery of Ukraine’s economy which required
additional volumes for processed foods and confectionary products. Imports of palm oil for
MY2016/17 are expected to slightly decrease to 170 thousand MT on the expected increase of
sunflower oil for this period with gradual growth up to 180 thousand MT for MY2017/18. This scenario
is likely, under the assumption that Ukraine will not have market access to the Russian Federation and
other ex-USSR counties, which were the main destinations for Ukrainian processed foods and
confectionary products before 2013.

Post’s estimates for domestic consumption of sunflower oil are 11 percent lower for MY2015/16 and 17
percent lower for MY2016/17, compared to USDA’s official data that is based on the general trend for
decreased per capita vegetable oil consumption in Ukraine as well as decreasing population numbers.
Post’s estimates for domestic consumption of soybean oil are 47 percent lower than USDA’s official
data, both for MY2015/16 and MY2016/17, as this product does not have significant popularity among
domestic consumers (please refer to Table 2 above).
Post’s numbers for production of rapeseed oil are 14 percent lower than USDA’s official data for
MY2016/17 based on the lower crop production. This results in Post’s rapeseed oil export numbers 10
percent lower than USDA’s official data for MY2016/17.
Post’s numbers for domestic consumption of palm oil are 8 percent lower than USDA’s official data for
MY2016/17, based on the assumption that it will be displaced by sunflower oil due to the higher
production volumes of sunflower oil.

Commodities:
Meal, Sunflowerseed
Meal, Soybean
Meal, Rapeseed
Production:
Sunflowerseed meal will continue to be produced in large quantities in Ukraine as a byproduct of oil
production. In addition, more soybean meal is expected to be produced due to an increase in soybean
production in the country and in response to growth of overall crush capacity. Rapeseed meal
production, though insignificant, is anticipated to grow in-line with increased rapeseed oil production in
Ukraine.
Consumption:
GAIN Report – UP1706 – Oilseeds and Products Annual Report Page 22 of 54

Oilseed meal in Ukraine is used for poultry and animal production and a large share of it also exported.
Sunflower meal is a traditional feed component in Ukraine. Soybean meal has been gaining popularity
in the country with the establishment of large industrial poultry production facilities.
According to the SSSU’s data pig numbers and poultry numbers decreased by 3.7 and 2 percent
accordingly in 2016. This has led to lower volumes of feed production and decreased domestic
consumption of both soybean and sunflower meals. Reports by domestic poultry producers suggest that
they are expanding use of sunflower meal in the diet of their poultry flocks. Post rebalanced feed
consumption in favor of increasing sunflower meal while subsequently reducing usage of soybean meal.
Roundup Ready MON 40-3-2, in the form of soybean meal, is the only GE event in the official registry
of approved feed sources that contain agricultural biotechnology for a term of five years from 2013-
2018. For more information about the biotechnology regulatory system in Ukraine, please refer to our
Biotechnology Report.
Trade:
In MY2015/16, Ukraine exported 3.8 MMT of sunflower meal to international markets, with over 55
percent shipped to the EU. The rest went to other traditional buyers: Belarus (508 thousand MT) and
Turkey (over 363 thousand MT). According to export data for September-December 2016, Ukraine
exported over 1.5 MMT of sunflower meal, a 12-percent increase compared to the same period of 2015.
The list of major importers should remain unchanged for the current season.
For MY2017/18, sunflower meal exports from Ukraine are forecast to reach 3.9 MMT –20 percent
below the 4.9 MMT projected for MY2016/17 – based on levels of sunflowerseed production for these
MYs (please refer to Production section for Sunflower Seeds for more details).
Ukraine’s soybean meal exports are slowly growing in-line with the expansion of domestic soybean
crush volumes. Another factor behind the export growth is stabilization of demand by local poultry
producers. These factors have led to a significant decrease in soybean meal imports.
In MY2015/16, soybean meal exports reached 338 thousand MT. The majority of this volume was sold
to the neighboring countries of Belarus, Turkey and Georgia. In September-December 2016, exports
reached almost 93 thousand MT, which was comparable to the same period in 2015. For MY2017/18,
soybean meal exports are forecast at 650 thousand MT, 91 percent above the 340 thousand MT expected
for MY2016/17; and in-line with forecast growth of production volumes and crush.
In MY2015/16, Ukraine exported 188 thousand MT of rapeseed meal with 85 percent of exports going
to the EU. The rest was supplied to Israel, which was the second-largest destination, importing 23
thousand MT of this product. According to export data for July-December 2016, exports reached 71
thousand MT, a 53-percent decrease compared to the same period of 2015. For MY2017/18, rapeseed
meal exports are forecast at 434 thousand MT, 2.4 times higher compared to the 127 thousand MT
expected for MY2016/17; and in-line with growth of production volumes and crush.

Policy:
Agricultural Policy in Ukraine with regard to oilseeds and oilseed products has not changed much over
the last year. Some developments are being discussed at the time this report was prepared, and others
developments are pending implementation as explained below.
The Government of Ukraine maintains Resolution #164 (in Ukrainian) that establishes guidelines for
optimum crop rotations for various crops for different regions, including ones set for sunflowerseed
(between 5 to 15 percent of total area) and rapeseed (between 3 to 10 percent of total area). Although
this Resolution has no enforcement mechanism, it could result in inconsistency/inaccuracy of reported
production numbers for sunflowers by farmers (discussed in the Production section for Sunflower
seeds).
Over the last few years, Ukrainian lawmakers have taken numerous attempts to abolish the existing 16
percent export duty for sunflowerseed, which creates the underlying incentive for development of the
oilseed crushing industry in Ukraine. At the time this report was prepared, there were no pending
attempts to introduce such legislative amendments. However if the export duty is ever abolished, it will
significantly change the ratio between domestic processing and subsequent exports of oils and meals vs.
exports of raw oilseeds – in the favor of the latter. At present, some local businesses are interested in
similar supports for domestic soybean crush development, as a number of local oilseed crushers already
have the capacity to process soybeans. However this initiative has become highly improbable since
Ukraine signed the Deep and Comprehensive Trade Agreement with the EU.

Among the requirements that Ukraine accepted upon WTO accession in 2008 was a commitment to
reduce export duties on oilseeds. Consequently, over the last several years, sunflowerseed export duties
were cut down to their current level of ten percent. No additional reduction is required by the WTO.
Ukrainian legislation does not allow for the production of genetically engineered (GE) crops in the
country. Also, the Ministry of Agricultural Policy and Food of Ukraine requires all planting seeds
intended for import into the country to be tested for the GE presence. In order to promote the country’s
image as a non-GE soybean supplier, the representative of the MAPF signed the Danube Soya
Declaration in June 2015. This action did not have an immediate effect on the market, however it might
be an indication that, in the long-term, Ukraine might follow the footsteps of the EU in a gradual opting
out from production of biotech crops.
In April 2014, the EU enacted Regulation # 374/2014 providing unilateral reduction or elimination of
Union customs duties on goods originating from Ukraine. In accordance with the Regulation, the
import duties for a number of commodity positions have been decreased to zero, including:
sunflowerseed oil (HS Code 1512), rapeseed oil (HS Code 1514) and soybean oil (HS 1507) from
regular rates ranging between 3.2 - 9.6 percent. This measure has increased the competitiveness of
Ukrainian oils on the EU Market.
Since the beginning of 2017 the New Tax Code came into force removing farmers’ ability to accumulate
the difference between VAT payable and VAT receivable on their accounts, which is estimated between
15-25 billion UAH (approx. 0.6-1 billion USD) per year. These funds will be substituted by an
automatic monthly subsidy, disbursed proportionally based on VAT payable to the budget amounting to
5.5 billion UAH (approx. 200 million USD) to all agricultural producers for 2017.
