# EU flaxseed imports rise 48% despite logistical constraints

> EU flaxseed imports from third countries rose 47.9% to 182,040 tonnes between July 1 and October 25, 2026, compared with the same period a year earlier. Kazakhstan remained the leading supplier, while shipments from Canada and Ukraine increased and Russian imports fell sharply amid EU duties. Transit restrictions and higher costs on alternative routes could complicate further deliveries to Europe.
