  • What are the exporters of soybeans from Ukraine?
  • In the big three of oilseeds — sunflower, soybeans, rapeseed, — exporters of soybeans from Ukraine are in the "golden middle" both in the Ukrainian and in the world market. In 2018, Ukrainian companies processed 71.6% of sunflower seeds according to the State Statistics Service.
  • Is soybean processing intensifying in Ukraine?
  • By the way, the 2018 volume of soybeans processing in Ukraine increased by almost 110 thousand tons, while export volumes reduced by slightly over 50 thousand tons. Yet it is obviously not enough for a firm conclusion about the intensification of soybean processing since the yield increase in the past year amounted to c.550 thousand tons.
  • How many tons of soybeans are harvested in Ukraine?
  • Last year, according to the State Statistics Service, Ukrainian agrarians harvested a record soybean crop of 4,46 mmt (including private households), an increase from 2017 stood at 14.4%. However, the contribution of the population to the gross yield is scanty — less than 30 thousand tons. The rest was produced by enterprises.
  • Who is the world's largest supplier/exporter of soybeans?
  • Bunge is the world's largest supplier/exporter of soybeans. And soybean production together with processing are the key areas of the company's activity. As of 2017, according to the company's data, it produced and exported about 30 mmt of oilseeds (soybean, sunflower and rapeseed).
  • Where do Ukrainian beans come from?
  • There are three key importers of Ukrainian beans in the EU: Italy, Greece and Spain. Although in 2018, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Hungary also imported an agreeable volume. In total, 92% of soybeans are exported to the 12 above-mentioned countries (and more than 76% to six countries).
  • Which country exports the most soybeans in the world?
  • On the other hand, Ukraine has no closest rivals. Its closest competitor, Uruguay, exports 1,9 mmt of soybeans and less. In the meantime, the five largest exporters of soybeans are Brazil, the USA, Argentina, Paraguay and Canada.
