The decrease in sunflower supply in Ukraine at the end of the season and the number of factories continuing processing led to an increase in sunflower oil prices to the highest level in the 2025/26 season of $1,335-1,340/t delivered to the port.   Purchase prices for sunflower in Ukraine remain at a high level of 33,000–33,500 UAH/t (oil content 50%) with delivery to the factory, but the volume of supply from producers remains low.   With the start of the rapeseed...

Barley purchase prices in Ukraine continue to decline as the winter barley harvest in the south accelerates (and data on high yields) and export demand significantly decreases.   Over the week, export demand prices for feed barley in Ukraine fell by another 200–300 UAH/t to 9,300–9,600 UAH/t or $183–190/t with delivery to Black Sea ports.   The price drop will allow traders to increase export sales in the near future, which will increase demand, but the...

The heat wave that hit Europe last week accelerated the ripening of rapeseed but severely reduced the potential yield, especially in France and Germany. It will also reduce rapeseed yields in Poland and Ukraine. This will support stock prices, which are falling under the pressure of falling oil prices to levels that preceded the war with Iran.   In Ukraine, the heat with temperatures of 35–38 °C lasted for 5-6 days (while in France the heat lasted for 8-9 days), and from...

According to Reuters, in 2026, India will increase corn exports to a 3-year high due to lower logistics costs to Asian buyers than competitors and lower prices under the pressure of record production.   The war in the Middle East has sharply increased global freight rates, leading to increased export demand for Indian corn, especially from Vietnam, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan, which have found it unprofitable to buy corn from the United States and South...

From July 1, an open export program for rapeseed and soybeans will be launched in Ukraine, which will ensure transparent and predictable export conditions, the press service of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine reports.   Only agricultural producers - both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs - who submit applications through the State Agrarian Register (DAR) will be able to use the program.   The export limits for program participants are: rapeseed –...

Declining export demand for soybeans in Ukraine and for soybean meal and soybean oil in the EU continues to put pressure on processors' prices in the domestic Ukrainian market. In addition, plants are switching to processing rapeseed, so demand for soybeans is forecast to fall.   During the week, Ukrainian processors reduced purchase prices for GMO soybeans from 22,000 UAH/t to 20,000–21,000 UAH/t or $393–415/t excluding VAT with delivery to the factory, so since the...

The fall in oil prices to the level of $73/barrel, which was before the war with Iran, stopped the speculative rise in soybean oil prices in Chicago and turned them downward, increasing pressure on adjacent vegetable oil markets.   July soybean oil futures on the CBOT exchange fell by 5.5% to $1,471/t in a week, and have already lost 18% of their value since the beginning of June on expectations of a decline in demand from the biofuel sector and an increase in forecasts of soybean...
