Market Takeaways

-
EU pivot: Despite an overall volume drop, EU destinations absorbed almost half of Ukrainian wheat flour, partly offsetting losses in other regions.
-
Competitive pressure: Lower export totals reflect stiff competition from global suppliers and wartime logistics constraints.
-
Diversification opportunity: Ukraine may target near‑EU and MENA markets to regain volumes in MY 2025/26.
