A new open export regime for rapeseed took effect in Ukraine on July 1
Starting July 1, 2026, Ukraine began accepting applications from farmers to participate in a new program for the open export of rapeseed through the State Agricultural Register (DAR).
Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in agricultural production can take advantage of this opportunity.
The launch of this mechanism marks a significant step toward the digitalization of the agricultural sector and the establishment of transparent rules for business.
The application process has been fully digitized, which significantly simplifies interactions between producers and government agencies.
“The launch of the open export program for soybeans and rapeseed is another step toward creating transparent and clear rules for the agricultural sector. We have digitized the process as much as possible so that producers can quickly submit applications through the DAR, and the government has an effective tool for managing exports,” said Deputy Minister of Economy Taras Vysotsky.
For rapeseed producers, the application period is set from July 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027. Soybean exports will be available under a different schedule—from September 1, 2026, to June 1, 2027.
The program also sets clear export volume limits tied to the area of cultivated land. Specifically, producers are allowed to export up to 5 metric tons of rapeseed per hectare and up to 3.5 metric tons of soybeans from the same area.
An important feature of the new procedure is the ability to make a one-time adjustment to data on planned or actual yields during the application period.
This approach provides flexibility for farmers in the event of changes in production indicators.
The mechanism has eliminated outdated bureaucratic hurdles, such as obtaining opinions from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Automating the process through the DAR system helps businesses avoid unnecessary time and effort.
This was reported by the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture.
