In Ukraine, in 2024, the import of high-acting gasoline A-98/100 increased by 30% (36.4 thousand. T). Moreover, all the leading suppliers increased imports, write Sergey Kuyun and Natalya Kurgan in the article “Benzine Independence: how it was built and how much it costs?

The leader remains UPG, on the account of which 63% of the total import of imports, which is 23 thousand. This is 21% more than it was last year. Almost the entire volume of fuel was brought by a network from Germany. UPG contains the largest A -100 sales network - more than 70 AZK. The following is WOG - 56 AZK, and Klo - 29, the authors noted.

In general, OKKO, WOG and UPG have remained permanent leaders in the last two years. And together they imported 62% of the total volumes of gasoline.

“The largest gasoline seller in the country is the OKKO network - strengthened the diversified supply structure in all directions. Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Germany - an increase in imports from these sources replaced emergency supplies of Greece in 2023, ”the article said.

WOG, as Kuyun and Kurgan noted, traditionally moved in the same directions. The company abandoned gasoline from Greece in favor of Orlen factories and began imports from Germany. According to the authors, this network differs in that it gradually departs from the Romanian OMV Petrom. The latter according to sources in the company became the most expensive in the Wog basket.

In turn, UPG increased per year by 34% mainly due to stable wholesale sales. The main one for the network was an almost complete change in logistics. In particular, fuel began to be carried by rail after the company's fuel trucks, which provided 100% of the network’s imports, stuck on the border due to the strike of Polish farmers in November 2023.

However, the authors emphasized, there were losses. In particular, out of the dozens of best importers, the Privat, BRSM-Neft and Anvitreid group disappeared.

“The first from the beginning of January actually announced the default: individual brands of fuel began to disappear from the gas station back in October, and at the beginning of the year the Avias and ANP were empty, leaving the owners of fuel coupons and cards alone with their problems. To remove the issue of the origin of fuel and its quality, BRSM-Neft in the second half of the year began to import gasoline. In five months, 12.4 thousand were imported. that is about a third of the general implementation of the network during this period. True, it has not yet been possible to identify passports for gasoline at gas stations, ”the authors added.

“The growth of gasoline imports by Amik Ukraine is 72% associated primarily with the transition to direct contracts with manufacturers, while a year earlier the network bought large volumes from other importers.

But the directions remain the previous ones - Romania and Lithuania. For the first time since 2021, a hundred percent wholesaler - UNNT, who increased gasoline by 71% (up to 26.8 thousand, had been in the five largest importers of gasoline (up to 26.8 thousand. t) "

Today, Germany took the fourth place in imports to Ukraine of gasoline, although back in 2021 such a prospect seemed fantastic. Moreover, this year the Germans' position in this context have every chance of becoming even stronger.
