ODESA: After the launch of another powerful oil plant in Ukraine, the total capacity for processing oilseeds will reach 25 million tons. Experts from Ukroliyaprom Association are sure that all oilseeds grown in Ukraine can be processed in Ukraine. But actually, this is far from reality. About 3 million tons of oilseeds have been exported in the last four months. Rapeseed and flaxseed are gone. Soybeans are being also actively exported.
Moreover, we should consider the restrained sales of raw materials by producers. All this led to plants insufficient workload and loss of profitability. Today, the most critical person in Ukraine is a farmer because in the structure of the cost of sunflower oil – 85% is raw materials.
