The availability of food-grade wheat and rye for Ukraine’s flour milling industry was the central theme of the address delivered by Rodion Rybchynskyi, Chairman of the Union Millers of Ukraine, at the Khlib.ua Conference.
During the 2024/25 marketing year, Ukrainian producers exported 66.7 thousand tonnes of wheat flour. This volume is lower than the 92.5 thousand tonnes exported in the previous season.
“There must be a clear balance between the interests of different market players: farmers who grow, traders who export, and processors who both process and export. Everyone should have equal access to raw materials, financing, logistics, and other resources,” said Rodion Rybchynskyi, Director of the Union “Millers of Ukraine”, in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine, responding to a question about the potential to increase Ukrainian flour exports.
As part of the Bakery Industry Forum, which this year is hosted by Uman National University, the Union “Millers of Ukraine” and the university signed a memorandum of cooperation. This document establishes a strategic partnership between the grain processing sector and higher education aimed at strengthening human capital and developing relevant industry competencies.
