EU almost doubled rapeseed imports from Ukraine

Ukraine exported 343.9 KMT of rapeseed in October 2017/18, or half as much as in the previous month. As a reminder, Ukrainian rapeseed exports reached a record 700.5 KMT in September 2017. Roughly 1680 KMT was shipped abroad in July-October 2017/18, during the most productive months for the rapeseed market. This volume is much larger than in the last three seasons, but down 5.8% from the record set in the same month in MY 2013/14 (1783.4 KMT). Rapeseed supplies to the EU continue gaining pace in the current season (1366.7 KMT against 747.5 KMT a year ago).
