Low activity of importers and another increase in the forecast for the wheat harvest in the Russian Federation are increasing pressure on wheat prices in the Black Sea region, including in Ukraine.   IKAR experts again increased the forecast for the Russian wheat harvest in 2025/26 MY by 0.5 million tons to 86 million tons (USDA estimates it at 83.5 million tons), and exports by 0.5 million tons to 43 million tons, while last season they amounted to 83 million tons and 43 million...

Rapeseed harvesting has been completed in Ukraine, with 3.163 million tons of rapeseed harvested from 1.283 million hectares (101% of the planned) with a yield of 2.47 tons/hectare, which is 12% lower than last year. Due to the loss of part of the crops caused by frost and drought, the rapeseed harvest in 2025 in Ukraine is 20% lower than last year's 3.8 million tons, which increases demand from exporters.   Demand from processors this season has increased for two reasons: due to...

Hot and dry weather in Southern and Eastern Europe has negatively affected the sowing of spring crops such as corn, sunflower and soybeans, while in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, southern Ukraine and Turkey, prolonged drought has caused irreversible damage to crops.   Heat and rainfall deficits have also reduced yield expectations in Hungary and eastern Croatia. At the same time, conditions have been more favourable in western and northern Europe. In Spain, Portugal, Italy, northern...

As of August 22, 2025, the barley harvest in Ukraine is almost complete, with 4.97 million tons (winter and spring) threshed from 95% of the area or 1.305 million hectares with a yield of 3.81 tons/hectare, which is 3.2% lower than last year. Therefore, the harvest compared to the previous season will decrease from 5.8 to 5.2-5.3 million tons.   The reduction in production has led to a decrease in supply, so export prices for barley remain high, despite falling prices for feed wheat...

The announcement that the EPA will return 5.34 billion RIN credits to refineries that complied with the law and received exemptions added to the positive sentiment for U.S. soybean prices, which remain at high levels. U.S. soybean processing is growing, but it will not be able to fully compensate for the drop in exports caused by China's refusal to purchase American soybeans, so markets are waiting for news from China.   Meanwhile, China continues to contract soybeans from Brazil...
