# Ukrainian rapeseed meal exports hit five-year low in EU

> In July-August 2025, Ukrainian rapeseed meal shipments to the EU fell to their lowest level in more than five seasons, excluding 2022/23. Argentine sunflower meal took 49% of EU sunflower meal imports, ahead of Ukraine's 40%. Harvest delays, weak farmer selling and low July processing drove the decline.

## Why it matters

Reduced Black Sea rapeseed and sunflower meal supply tightens EU protein availability. Buyers may need to source more from Argentina and other origins, which supports meal prices.
