Ukraine. Sunflower seed market remains in short supply

UkrAgroConsult

Over the week of October 24 – 31, sunflower prices rose by UAH 200 to UAH 28,000/mt ($666.61/t).

Harvest rates remaining low. But factors reducing tension appeared:

– operational data on yields, which are slowly but steadily increasing (as of October 30, 2025 – 1.88 mt/ha compared to 1.85 mt/ha last week)

– an increase in acreage, as announced by official statistics (5,222 K ha compared to 5,141.8 K ha – operational data).

The price increase also slowed down due to a price correction in the oil market. With duties imposed on soybeans and rapeseed, processors are adopting different strategies, but most of them are inclined to combine oilseeds in order to maximize profit. This should help to regulate the markets, balance supply and demand.
