Ukrainian sunseed processors enter 2026 with a shortage of raw materials
Ukrainian sunflower seed processors remain in high demand for raw materials at the end of the year. A significant part of the plants enter 2026 with an insufficient level of coverage, Spike Brokers reports.
“Expectations of possible logistical complications are prompting companies to take a wait-and-see approach and reduce the pace of processing,” the report says.
Against the backdrop of a decrease in processing activity before the New Year period, sunflower prices have decreased: the spot index with delivery for processing within 30 days fell by $14 including VAT to $672/t.
At the same time, sunflower oil prices in six ports in Northern Europe increased by $20 and reached $1,340–1,345/t (as of the end of last week).
On the Turkish side, the market remains stable — demand is maintained at $1,300–1,305/t.
