Indonesia has updated phytosanitary requirements for Ukrainian wheat imports. The new rules will come into effect on June 1, 2026 and provide for additional requirements for document processing, grain quality, and mandatory fumigation before shipment.

This was reported with reference to the State Service for Food and Consumer Protection of Ukraine. The agency noted that the changes apply to all batches of Ukrainian wheat that will be exported to Indonesia.

According to the new rules, each batch of grain must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate. The document must necessarily contain an additional declaration of compliance of the cargo with the requirements of Indonesia, as well as the specified registration code of the exporter.

Separately, Indonesia is tightening requirements for the safety of grain products. Wheat must be free from a number of dangerous pests and diseases, including the capricious beetle, fusarium head blight, and bacterial spot. There is also a requirement for the absence of soil, weeds, plant debris, and other foreign impurities.

In addition to quality requirements, mandatory fumigation of grain with phosphine is being introduced before shipment. This procedure should provide an additional level of phytosanitary safety during product transportation.

Another innovation will be mandatory prior notification of each export batch of wheat. It must be submitted by the exporter or an authorized representative in Ukraine before the shipment.

The State Food and Consumer Protection Service emphasizes that all supplies of Ukrainian wheat to Indonesia must fully comply with current Indonesian food safety standards. This is a prerequisite for further access of Ukrainian grain to this market.
