# Sunseed prices in Ukraine are rising, but farmers expect a level of 28,000 UAH to stimulate sales

> Sunflower seed purchase prices in Ukraine rose by UAH 500-1,000/t to 26,500-27,400/t at delivery to factories, as Black Sea sunflower oil export prices climbed $10-20/t to $1,080-1,100/t and meal rose to $220-225/t. Farmers are holding out for higher prices, while some processors may suspend production until the new season due to losses and raw material shortages.

## Why it matters

Firmer sunflower oil and meal export prices, backed by palm oil gains, support sunseed costs for crushers, but limited soymeal competition and processor shutdowns cap upside for meal supply.
