Over the past 6 months, elevator prices have increased: by 38% for grain crops and by 14% for oilseeds compared to the same period last year. Prices in Ukrainian ports have also increased, but not so significantly, because the cost of logistics remains quite high.

During the last 3 months, the pace of price growth on the Ukrainian market has slowed down, and oil crops have even decreased due to a significant decrease in export stocks of soybeans and rapeseed and the virtual cessation of exports of these crops. From the beginning of 2024, the structure of export routes has changed. The logistics of agricultural products through the river ports of the Danube played an important role for Ukraine when the deep-water ports of Odessa were not working. However, today the potential of the Danube export route is not fully used due to the higher cost of logistics in this direction compared to the deep-water ports of Odessa.

Currently, exports to the ports of Gdańsk/Gdynia are practically not carried out due to the increased throughput and higher profitability of other export channels.
