# Oilseed rape prices rise on nervous market - Farmers Weekly

> UK oilseed rape prices rose over the past week on higher crude and early French harvest reports of yields of 2.5-3 t/ha. Ukraine's harvest started early with yields about 5% lower over a larger area, and US-China trade tensions have made oilseed markets volatile.
