Over the eight months of the preferential soybean and rapeseed export mechanism, Ukraine has received significant financial revenues to the state budget. The total volume of export transactions during this period reached UAH 3.5 billion, which confirms the stable operation of the introduced regime.

This was reported by Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture Taras Vysotskyi. According to him, UAH 1.8 billion has already been received by the state budget, of which UAH 470 million has been directed to a special fund.

Since the regime began, Ukraine has exported almost 2 million tons of soybean and rapeseed. The Ministry of Economy notes that the preferential export system is operating stably, and control over operations is carried out in a planned mode without significant disruptions.

In April, the government recorded a seasonal decrease in export volumes, which is typical for the end of the marketing year. The authorities expect a further slowdown in activity by the end of the season, while a new cycle of rapeseed exports is due to start in July.

At the same time, the state has tightened control over export operations. In particular, data reconciliation is being carried out between expert opinions of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and data from the State Agrarian Register of Ukraine, which should increase the transparency of procedures.

The ministry also notes that the introduced 10% export duty on soybeans and rapeseed has contributed to the development of domestic processing. This has allowed for an increase in the production of oil and meal, although the detailed results of this effect are still being analyzed.

To date, there have been no cases of cancellation of documents due to excess export volumes, and the mechanism itself, according to the government, has become more accurate and more controlled compared to the initial stage of implementation.

For the agricultural sector, soybean and rapeseed exports remain one of the key sources of foreign exchange earnings, especially in conditions of complex logistics and the industry's high dependence on foreign markets. The government emphasizes that the preferential regime simultaneously supports exports and ensures stable budget revenues.
