# The Quiet Month: Ukraine's Sunflower Oil Exports Sink to a Two-Year Low | GLOBOIL Intelligence

> Ukraine's sunflower oil exports through June 26 were just under 400,000 tonnes, on track for the weakest month since November 2023 and more than 40% below May. Idle Black Sea crushing capacity, mostly in Ukraine, is blamed, and Black Sea sunflower oil prices softened in late June.

## Why it matters

Lower Ukrainian supply would normally lift prices, but weak palm and soy oil pulled sunflower oil lower. Buyers are shifting to Russian cargoes, leaving European importers exposed to volatility.
