The volume of rapeseed exports from Ukraine this year has already reached almost 200,000 tons. Delays in shipments in October did not affect general trends, and in early November exports increased due to the fulfillment of delayed contracts. This is reported by analysts of the agricultural cooperative PUSK, created within the borders of the Ukrainian Autonomous Region. "The October shipment had certain difficulties with logistics, but now this cargo is actively being shipped under contracts. This stimulated a significant increase in rapeseed export rates. Increased demand in combination with the settlement of shipments contribute to positive dynamics, and we hope that the current export trend will be maintained," - reported PUSK.

As of today, the average price of potatoes at the wholesale market of agricultural products "Shuvar" in Lviv has reached UAH 24.3 per kilogram, which is 170% higher compared to the same period last year, when potatoes cost only UAH 9/kg. "This year, the price of potatoes in Ukraine has almost tripled compared to last year," comments Tetyana Popovych, head of the Shuvar market marketing department. She explains that the main factors of price increase were: Crop failure due to weather conditions. The abnormal heat and drought that hit Ukraine in the summer of 2024 led to a significant decrease in the yield of potatoes. Reduction of sown areas. Due to economic and logistical difficulties, some farmers decided to reduce the area under potatoes, which directly affected the total volume of production. Growth of production costs. The increase in the prices of fuel, fertilizers and other resources increased the cost of growing potatoes, which also contributed to the increase in the final price.
