At the end of the week, the rapeseed market is experiencing slight pressure from offers to sell rapeseed for hryvnia from small farmers.   This led to a sharp decrease in purchase prices from processors, who lowered their purchase prices by 500-1000 UAH/t to 23500-23800 UAH/t with delivery to the plant and are observing an increase in supply.   The uncertainty regarding the timing of the entry into force of the law on 10% export duties allows traders who have ships to ship...

Prolonged rains in July and early August have worsened the quality of wheat in western and northern Ukraine, as some of the grain was found to be damaged by fungi such as alternaria or sooty mold. Such wheat mostly has no foreign odor and can be used for feed purposes, but elevators and export terminals accept it as not in condition and store it separately from class 4 feed wheat.   The decrease in precipitation in Ukraine has allowed for faster grain harvesting and increased supply...

Feed wheat prices in Ukraine have fallen sharply due to high levels of fungus-damaged grain, but milling wheat prices are rising. Sunflower oil and sunflower seed prices have also risen late in the season due to a lack of supply, as most processors are already switching to rapeseed and preparing for the new season. High rates of soybean exports have reduced stocks and supported soybean export prices, but lower global quotations are limiting prices for the new crop.   The...

In Ukraine, at the end of the 2024/25 MY, there is a shortage of sunflower oil supplies, caused by a limited supply of sunflower and the transition of most plants to processing soybeans and rapeseed.   Against this background, domestic demand prices for crude sunflower oil have increased to UAH 58,000-60,000/t on FCA-factory terms, which is equivalent to $1,160-1,200/t, while export demand prices are $1,135-1,145/t for deliveries to the port in August and $1,100/t for deliveries in...

The delay in harvesting and the rise in the euro against the dollar sharply reduced export supplies of grains, oilseeds, and processed products from the EU in the new season, which is increasing pressure on prices in the EU and on export prices in Ukraine.   According to the European Commission, in the 2025/26 MY, exports of major crops from the EU decreased compared to the corresponding period of the previous year: soft wheat – by 58% to 1.11 million tons, barley...
