At the current pace of limited exports without the ports of Greater Odesa, Ukraine will effectively face a shortage of domestic grain storage capacity in November, which could amount to between 8 million and 11 million tonnes.

In July 2026, Ukraine exported 3.67 million tonnes of agricultural products, which is 23.4% less than in the previous month.

Following the ratification of the Free Trade Agreement between the two countries, the first major international business event dedicated to exploring new opportunities will be AgroFoodSummit 2026, taking place on 24–25 September in Mersin — a strategic Mediterranean port and one of the region's leading logistics hubs for global agricultural trade.

Stocks of cereals and legumes in Ukraine as of June 1, 2026, amounted to 9.5 million tonnes, which is nearly 4 million tonnes more than on the same date last year.

Today, the global grain market is being pressured simultaneously by at least eight structural factors.
