Ukraine's Ministry of Economy and Environment has approved the minimum export prices for August 2026 under the country's export assurance regime. The updated prices apply to a broad range of agricultural commodities, including wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, soybeans, rapeseed, sunflower seed, soybean, sunflower and rapeseed oils, oilseed meal, as well as honey and nuts.
The August values were revised to reflect current market conditions. Minimum export prices for most grain crops were reduced compared with July. Wheat and corn prices were lowered across CPT, FOB and CIF delivery terms, while the minimum CPT price for rapeseed increased. The adjustments are intended to make export contracts more feasible amid sharply higher logistics costs.
The changes follow the deterioration of Ukraine's export logistics caused by continued Russian attacks on port infrastructure. According to the government, disrupted maritime shipping has increased transportation costs, slowed export activity, and pushed domestic purchase prices for grains and oilseeds lower. To address these conditions, the Cabinet of Ministers introduced a 0.714 coefficient to the base calculation when determining minimum export prices for August.
The government says the updated mechanism is designed to ensure the continuity of agricultural exports, enable producers to conclude export contracts under current market conditions, and preserve stable foreign currency revenues for Ukraine during the harvest and the 2026/27 marketing season.
