# New Export Price Mechanism for Agricultural Products

> Ukraine's Cabinet approved a new procedure for minimum allowable export prices on grains and oilseeds, applying a 0.714 coefficient from August 2026. The change responds to Russian attacks on port infrastructure and a blockade of maritime transport that raised transport costs. Domestic prices fell 5 to 17% and daily export shipments dropped to 48,000 tons.

## Why it matters

The export price floor reduces the ability to close export contracts, which constrains Ukrainian supply to world markets and shifts price pressure toward domestic buyers.
