UKRAINE: VEGETABLE OIL EXPORT LOGISTICS
Market Research
Brief Description
This far-reaching research addresses the main aspects of functioning of the Ukrainian exports of vegetable oils starting with oilseeds processing and oil production, and along its entire way to seaport exports terminals and railway transshipments.
The paper offers a detailed discussion of the process of oilseeds processing and vegetable oils production in Ukraine, and Ukraine’s current and prospective exports potential in terms of the market balance items and their changes. The main links of the exports logistical chain discussed in this research are plant economy, including facilities for storage and shipment of vegetable oils, automobile and railway transport, and sea ports. Not less important in terms of logic expenses is the processes of issuance of the necessary export documents (especially with regard to the problems with sunflower oil exports to the EU) and delivery organization. Problems and costs analysis was carried out for all links of the logistical chain.
Our research also describes activities of all main players in the market of vegetable oils exports: producers, traders, mediators, forwarders, exporters, and their impact on price setting in the Ukrainian market of vegetable oils exports. The paper offers an approximate estimate of contribution of each group of the market participants and each logistic link to the final price of oil in a port.
The paper also analyzes national policy related to development of exports infrastructure in Ukraine (or impeding it), prospects of the growth of oilseeds and oils production in Ukraine as well as development of vegetable oils logistic with the respective export prospects. There are also data characterizing Ukraine’s foreign trade in vegetable oils and evaluation of the extreme importance of Ukraine’s place in the global vegetable oils market.
