# Ukraine Sunflower Prices Hit Season Highs in 2025/2026 Marketing Year | Межа

> Ukrainian sunflower purchase prices reached the highest level of the 2025/2026 marketing year, at 29,000-30,000 UAH/t, amid rising sunflower oil prices and a weaker hryvnia. Oil delivered to ports rose to $1,270-1,280/ton, and some southern plants remain offline due to shelling and power outages. Russia's attack on the Dnipro oilseed plant earlier in January also affected production.

## Why it matters

Plant outages reduce domestic crushing and meal output, supporting sunflower oil and meal prices. A restored energy and port truce could raise oil supply and ease prices.
