In Ukraine, UkrAgroConsult reported that Australia exported 102,064 tons of canola in June 2025, a sharp drop from 659,182 tons shipped in May, reflecting the depletion of current-crop stocks, with monthly exports unlikely to exceed 150,000 tons until new-crop supplies become available in November, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics,
For the first nine months of the 2024-25 shipping year, Australia exported 4.95 million tons of canola, with Belgium (1.41 million tons) and Germany (1.08 million tons) as the largest markets, while France led in June with 60,299 tons, followed by Japan (28,671 tons) and Bangladesh (6,363 tons).
The report noted that Australian growers are focusing on forward canola sales, hopeful that China will resume purchases following its 75.8% tariff on Canadian canola, as China has not been a significant buyer of Australian canola since 2020 due to concerns over blackleg disease.
The Australian Oilseeds Federation estimated the 2025-26 canola crop at 5.97 million tons, down from 6.24 million tons in 2024-25, potentially impacting future export volumes.
