# Ukraine sees significant bump in rapeseed production | World-grain.com | December 29, 2017 14:52 | World Grain

> Ukraine's 2017 rapeseed crop rose 83% to 2.2 million tonnes, while soybean output fell 12% to 3.8 million tonnes and sunflower seed output fell nearly 15% to 11.6 million tonnes. USDA FAS says the VAT refund removal from March 2018 could shift exports toward processed oil and meal.
