EU linseed imports reached 182 thousand tons from July to October in the 2026/27 season, up 47.9% from a year earlier, per European Commission data cited by UkrAgroConsult. Kazakhstan supplied about 55% of imports, Canada's shipments rose 3.7 times, and Ukraine's rose 49.6%, while Russian supplies fell 95.9% after tariffs.
Experts flag Russian rail restrictions to Baltic ports, seasonal Baltic port limits, and higher Polish road freight costs as risks.
Strong import growth and diversified origins add supply to the EU linseed market, but rising logistics costs and transit limits could tighten deliveries and firm prices for linseed meal buyers.
