Ukraine’s export of rapeseed is likely to jump by 60% YoY, to 1.65 million tons in the 2017-2018 season as the harvest is expected to be about 70% larger than in the previous year
Ukrainian output could rise to 2.03 million tons this year from 1.19 million tons in 2016 due to larger sowing area and higher yield.
