Ukraine Extends Export Price Adjustment Amid Logistical Challenges
The Ukrainian government has extended a measure to help farmers export agricultural products amid ongoing logistical challenges. The Cabinet of Ministers adopted Resolution No. 1192 on September 30, 2026, which continues the application of a reducing coefficient of 0.714 for determining minimum allowable export prices for certain crops in October-December.
The measure affects wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, soybeans, rapeseed, sunflower seeds, and their processed products. It allows for a significant reduction in the base estimate of export prices to account for increased logistics costs due to sea transportation blockades and port infrastructure damage.
Domestic purchase prices have decreased by 16% for food wheat, 17% for feed wheat, 8% for corn, 14% for barley, and 5% for rapeseed. Meanwhile, exports have sharply declined, with average daily shipments falling from around 144 thousand tons in the first half of September to just 48 thousand tons.
The resolution aims to support Ukrainian agricultural supplies by adjusting export prices to reflect real market conditions. It enters into force on the date of its publication.
