EU Seeks New Routes for Ukrainian Grain

More than 7,000 trucks are registered in Ukraine’s eQueue system for outbound border crossings. The Polish border remains the busiest route, accounting for around 77% of all vehicles waiting to cross.

Lower grain exports and more expensive alternative logistics are increasing pressure on Ukrainian farmers. Under these conditions, some producers may reduce wheat acreage and expand rapeseed planting, as the oilseed’s higher value per tonne makes costly export routes more economically viable.

Ukraine has a strong chance of becoming the world’s largest frozen raspberry exporter by total volume in the 2026/27 season. A poor harvest in Serbia and frost damage in Poland are creating favourable conditions for Ukrainian suppliers in the European market.
