# War hits oilseed plants! Multiple Ukrainian crushing plants halt, sunflower market faces downside pressure

> Russian attacks on Ukrainian oilseed facilities have forced several crushing plants to halt, with Kernel suspending all its plants and stopping seed purchases. Plants in Poltava, Vinnytsia, Chernihiv, Chernivtsi and Khmelnytskyi were also struck in the past week. Ukrainian sunflower seed farm-gate prices fell to 15,000–16,000 hryvnia per ton as crushing demand weakened.

## Why it matters

Lower crush capacity reduces sunflower meal and oil output and weakens domestic seed demand. Export routes are constrained by quotas and high logistics costs, so the seed price pressure is likely to persist while plants are offline.
