Экспорт рапсового шрота из Германии упал на 19% из-за нехватки сырья и конкуренции

German rapeseed meal exports well below the previous year’s level Shipments to key EU destination countries dropped significantly. According to data from the German Federal Statistical Office, Germany exported nearly 1.2 million tonnes of rapeseed meal from July 2025 to April 2026, representing a decline of approximately 19 per cent from the year-earlier period. The Netherlands remained the most important market, taking 468,000 tonnes, although this was down 21 per cent year on year. Exports to Denmark decreased 11 per cent, reaching just over 160,000 tonnes. Shipments to Finland fell particularly sharply, declining 43 per cent to 96,000 tonnes. Outside the EU, Switzerland remained a major market, with exports totalling just under 66,000 tonnes, down 4 per cent. Deliveries to the UK also declined considerably, falling 26 per cent to nearly 48,000 tonnes. Individual markets such as Spain (up 64 per cent to approximately 65,000 tonnes) recorded increases, however, these were not sufficient to offset the declines in the key markets. According to research by Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft mbH, export growth was constrained by a more limited supply of rapeseed meal, stable domestic demand, and increasing competition from alternative protein sources such as soya meal, which narrowed the scope for exports in the current crop year.
