Processing plants have practically stopped purchasing sunflower seeds in Ukraine due to the blockade of sunflower exports and the switch to processing rapeseed, which has caused purchase prices to plummet.   The decline in rapeseed prices due to the impossibility of export to the level of 20,000-21,000 UAH/t increases the marginality of its processing, so factories are actively switching to rapeseed processing, and only small SEZs, which do not have such technical capabilities,...

The terrorist troops of the Russian Federation continue systematic shelling of port and transport infrastructure facilities of the Odessa region, as well as civilian vessels in the ports of Greater Odessa and the Danube region, which has practically stopped the calls of vessels to the Black Sea ports of Ukraine and the sea export of grain, ore, and metal products.   The intensity of attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure is steadily increasing, and in just the first days of August,...
