The leader in supplies was the “First Podilsk Energy Company,” which accounted for over a third of all exports, specifically 30.7% of the total volume.

Impressive Growth and Changes in Export Structure
In February 2025, Ukrainian companies sold record-high volumes of bioethanol abroad, attributed to the lack of supplies in January, leading to a buildup of demand during the period from February to March. Meanwhile, in March, the export volume decreased by 9.1% to 14,400 tons, with the entire volume consisting of undenatured bioethanol.
Last month, just like in February, seven companies exported bioethanol from Ukraine. However, the structure of exporters changed: the “Uzyn Sugar Plant” returned to the market, while the “Western Ethanol Group” ceased supplies. In terms of average daily volumes, the leader was Vitagro Bio-Trade, with a growth of 20%, while the smallest reduction was recorded by the “First Podilsk Energy Company” (-42.2%).
Geography of Supplies and Main Importing Countries
The geography of bioethanol exports from Ukraine remained stable: the product was supplied to six countries. In March, the main importers were Lithuania (66.6%), Bulgaria (12.7%), and Poland (10%).
