Last week, sunflower trading rates in Ukraine slowed down due to moderate demand from the processing sector and a further decline in oilseed prices, experts from IA "APK-Inform" report, according to agronews.ua.

As noted, many Ukrainian processing enterprises have formed a sufficient raw material base and, taking into account the difficult shipment of processed products, again lowered their bid prices for sunflower.

"In particular, bid prices in the northern, eastern and a number of central regions during the week fell to 13,000-14,500 UAH/t CPT. In the southern and western regions, they were mainly within the range of 15,500-17,000 UAH/t CPT," the report specifies.

It is also noted that in some cases, plants that needed raw materials or due to high competition with exporters raised bid prices, but so far not significantly – within 200-500 UAH/t.
