Ukraine exported 2.2 KMT of rape oil in November 2017 against 8.9 KMT in the previous month and 10.8 KMT in November 2016. A total 59 KMT of this product was supplied to foreign markets in MY 2017/18 (July-November), or almost 4% less than at the same time last year (61.4 KMT). The reason is a significant rise in rapeseed exports, which more than doubled. The first months of the current season feature a decline in the end markets for Ukrainian rape oil. The number of importing countries almost halved against last year. As before, the bulk was exported to European countries (86% of total exports). China stepped up rape oil purchases from Ukraine more than three times and accounted for 13% of total exports.
