In 2025, the TOP-14 milling enterprises that are members of the Union “Flour Millers of Ukraine” produced 527.2 thousand tonnes of flour, which is 4% below the previous year’s figure and represents 33% of the country’s total estimated flour output. This was reported by Serhii Sakirkin in his flour market review for APK-Inform News Agency.

From 26 to 30 January 2026, the Millers of Ukraine is taking part in the international trade exhibition Gulfood 2026.

The annual standalone tariff quota of 30,000 tonnes for Ukrainian flour exports to the EU, granted for the first time in 2025, creates meaningful long-term planning opportunities for Ukraine’s milling industry. This was stated by Rodion Rybchynskyi, Director of the Union “Millers of Ukraine,” during the panel discussion “The Voice of the Sector: from Advocacy to Partnership in Shaping Agri-Food Policy” at the XVII International Conference “Doing Agribusiness in Ukraine.”

At the “Grain and Processing 2025: Flour, Groats, Feed” forum in Lviv, a ceremony was held to recognize the companies whose performance and consistent work throughout the 2024/25 marketing year set new benchmarks for the Ukrainian grain processing industry.

On November 21, participants of the forum “Grain & Processing 2025: Flour, Grocery, Animal Feed” visited the production sites of two companies that set the technological benchmark for Ukraine’s processing industry — Enzym and Kormotech.

On September 9, Rodion Rybchynskyi, Director of the Union “Millers of Ukraine,” spoke at the panel discussion “Ukrainian Flour: Challenges and Prospects for Bakers and Restaurateurs” during the PRO TISTO forum.

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.

This week, Ukrainian companies are showcasing their products at Food & Drink Expo in Birmingham, United Kingdom — one of the leading trade events for food suppliers entering the European market.
