In 2017/18 MY, Ukraine faced some reduction rates in the production of crude sunflower oil — down 13.6%, due to decreasing of the general harvest of sunflower seed and its processing volumes, declared the press-service of the association Ukroliyaprom.

It was noted that in the reporting season the large-scale companies-producers (without oil mills) produced 4.611 mln tonnes of crude sunflower oil. In particular, the TOP-5 of companies-leaders included Optimus Agro Trade (PJSC Zaporizhia oil extraction plant) with the share of 7.2% of the general volumes, LLC European transport stevedoring company (Mykolaiv Oil Extraction Plant LLC) — 7.1%, PJSC Vinnitsa Oil Seeds Crushing Factory — 5.3%, Ukrainian Black Sea Industry LLC (Odessa oblast) — 5.1%, and LLC Bandursky oil extraction plant (Mykolaiv oblast) — 5%.

At the same time, Ukraine increased the production of margarine products by 5.3%. According to the announcement, the production volumes of soybean oil increased by 22.7%, and rapeseed oil — up 22% compared with the previous MY, but the volumes were still insignificant (especially in terms of rapeseed oil), due to the active exports of raw materials from Ukraine.

Also, in 2017/18 MY Ukraine exported the main types of fat-and-oil products at the sum of 5.234 bln USD.
