The FINANCIAL — According to the monitoring reports by APK-Inform Agency, in September-May of 2017/18 MY the exports of oilseed meals and cakes from Ukraine reached 3.85 mln tonnes, which became the second largest volume in the contemporary history of the country, as well as down 5% compared with the record figures last MY.
In particular, in the reporting period Ukraine supplied 3.5 mln tonnes of sunflower meal/cake (down 6%), 280 thsd tonnes of soybean meal/cake (up 12%), 44 thsd tonnes of rapeseed meal/cake (down 7%), and 10 thsd tonnes of flaxseed cake (down 13%) on foreign markets.
It should be noted that the figures on soybean by-products reached its historical peak. Attractive prices for oilseed meals on the global market became a significant boost for activation of the export shipment. At the same time, reduction of the processing volumes of sunflower seed, rapeseed and flaxseed in the current season prevented from breaking a new record.
