In this report, we present a review of the oilseed production and processing sector in Ukraine. We begin by analysing oilseed, oil and meal supply and demand, and concentrate more specifically on sunflower seed. We then proceed to discuss the main policy issues that currently have an impact in the crushing sector.
Throughout this report, it will become apparent that three key issues affect the crushing sector: a severe lack of credit; the 17% export tax, which reduces the domestic price of seed; and the failure to reimburse value added tax for oil product exporters, which places a considerable burden on crushers.
