> Ukraine's 2024/25 processing of the three main oilseeds is forecast to fall 11% to 15.8-16 million tons. Sunflower crush could hit a nine-season low of about 13 million tons, while soybean crush could reach a record 2.4-2.5 million tons. Strong European demand for Ukrainian soybean meal is expected to support soybean processing.
