The total corn supply in Ukraine has increased to 14 million tons. Harvesting rates remain high, while yields are gradually improving.

Ukraine is currently caught in a set of circumstances that are restraining export shipments and limiting its ability to compete in foreign markets.

This creates a deferred supply effect, as producers are holding back sales in anticipation of better market conditions.

Supply chains are gradually becoming saturated with corn. In October, Ukraine exported around 1 million tons, compared to 1,9 million tons during the same period last year.

Approximately 500 thousand tons were shipped to European countries. On the Italian market, spot prices declined by €5 compared to the previous week.

Ukraine sold about 300 thousand tons of corn with rail shipments via the western border to Italy. Contracts were concluded with deliveries scheduled through June 2026. Total rail exports of the 2025 crop to Italy are expected to reach up to 1 million tons. Corn has been actively traded at the western border, with transhipment in Chop and subsequent loading into EU-standard railcars. Transaction prices amounted to: €182-183 (for November-December 2025), €184-185 (for January-June 2026), loaded into EU railcars. The market is already recording the first sales of the 2026 crop, which has so far been trading around €185 (for November-December 2026).
