Rates for rail transportation over distances of up to 500 km increased by 30% in two months, and in some places by 50% -...

According to estimates by the International Grains Council (IGC), global soybean consumption will reach a record 430 million tons in the 2025/26 MY, reports the German Oil and Protein Crops Promotion Union (UFOP).   The growth in consumption is driven by increased demand for meat and, consequently, high-protein animal feed, especially in Asia's rapidly growing food production...

The increase in sunflower supply and the fall in sunflower oil prices led to a decrease in speculative demand for sunflower in Ukraine and a price pullback.   In Ukraine, producers managed to accelerate the harvest of sunflower, despite high humidity and periodic precipitation.

The biofuel sector in the EU - one of the world's largest markets - may experience a shortage of raw materials due to increased demand and stricter environmental requirements, according to CME Group experts.   Increasing demand for renewable raw materials from biofuel producers creates risks of supply disruptions, which, against the backdrop of the decarbonization process, increases price volatility and reduces margins.   According to Argus Media, in 2025, biofuel...
