Russian Rapeseed Oil Exporter

Demetra Trading is a Russian rapeseed oil exporter for food manufacturers, biodiesel blenders and industrial buyers in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We supply low-erucic canola-type oil for food frying and high-erucic lots for technical chemistry, with binding quality fixed at load in a Certificate of Analysis and optional independent survey at the export terminal.

Food-grade vs industrial rapeseed oil

Food programs reference erucic acid (C22:1) at or below 2%, with free fatty acids ≤0.5% (as oleic), peroxide value ≤5 meq O₂/kg, colour and smoke behaviour aligned to EU and destination regulation — the canola-type specification accepted by food manufacturers, margarine producers and fryer operators. Industrial streams highlight elevated erucic acid for lubricant, polymer, surfactant and erucamide channels where identity preservation is part of the contract. Each cargo ships with a Certificate of Analysis confirming full fatty-acid composition, including oleic, linoleic and erucic fractions.

Destination markets and applications

Russian rapeseed oil exports serve food processors in Turkey, the EU and North Africa, biodiesel and HVO blenders in Northwestern Europe, and industrial chemical buyers sourcing high-erucic oil for technical applications. Food-grade canola-type oil competes with Ukrainian and EU crusher output on FOB Black Sea pricing and parcel flexibility from 500 MT flexitank stems through 20,000 MT bulk tanker programs. Buyers searching for a rapeseed oil supplier typically compare erucic content, FFA, colour (Lovibond) and loading window against their internal spec — Russian supply is strongest when destination accepts Black Sea FOB and independent survey at load. Related oilseeds in our catalog include rapeseed seed for crushers and rapeseed meal for feed compounders.

Documentation and survey at load

Standard export paperwork includes Certificate of Analysis (fatty acids, FFA, peroxide, moisture), phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and weight/quality survey report. Food destinations may require additional pesticide, heavy-metal or dioxin panels. SGS or equivalent independent surveyor attendance at Novorossiysk, Taman or Baltic tank terminals is routine — sampling, sealing and quality determination follow contract terms (GAFTA, FOSFA or buyer form). Non-GMO and sustainability statements are discussed when the crushing origin and traceability chain support the buyer's audit requirement.

Packaging, ports and parcel sizes

Packaging includes flexitank in 20 ft containers, ISO tank and bulk tanker stems from about 500 MT up to 20,000 MT, loading Black Sea and Baltic tank terminals (Novorossiysk, Taman, Ust-Luga). FOB is the default structure; CIF to named discharge ports and DAF to land borders (Turkey, Central Asia) are available under Incoterms 2020. Winter loading may require heating and viscosity checks — confirm laycan and terminal capability when planning Q1 shipments.
