  "summary": "China emerged as the top buyer of Ukrainian rapeseed meal during the 2025/26 marketing year, importing 257,300 metric tons worth $49.8 million. This was followed by Turkey, which imported 84,900 metric tons valued at $16.9 million, and Spain with 69,300 metric tons worth $14.2 million. Ukraine's domestic production of rapeseed meal surged by 79% year-on-year in 2025, reaching 540,460 metric tons. In response to this surge, Ukraine introduced a 10% export duty on rapeseed and soybeans in September 2025, aiming to stimulate domestic processing and boost wartime state revenues. However, this move has had a significant impact on local farmers, inflicting roughly $200 million in cumulative losses.",
