# Ukraine sunflower prices rise sharply amid higher sunflower oil prices - APK-Inform

> Ukrainian sunflower seed prices rose sharply in the past week, supported by higher sunflower oil prices and strong demand from large processors with attractive margins. Some oilseed plants in Ukraine suspended operations due to power outages, particularly in southern and frontline regions. Seed prices reached record levels of 28,800-30,000 hryvnias per ton CPT (48% oil content).
