EU flaxseed imports from outside the bloc rose 47.9% to 182,040 tonnes between July 1 and October 25, 2026. Kazakhstan led the increase, while Russian imports dropped amid EU duties; higher freight and insurance costs and Baltic transit restrictions are adding logistical constraints.
Higher import demand supports flaxseed flows into the EU, but rising transport costs and restrictions could limit shipments and lift European prices despite ample global stocks. Flaxseed itself is not among the listed commodities.
