# Sunseed prices continue to rise in Ukraine, but vegetable oil markets have seen a drop in prices

> Ukrainian sunflower seed purchase prices rose UAH 500-1,000/t to UAH 27,500-28,500/t, while farmers hold back sales awaiting UAH 30,000/t. Sunflower oil export prices rose to $1,110-1,120/t, but palm and soybean oil fell sharply after India signaled plans to raise vegetable oil import duties.

## Why it matters

India's planned duty increase lowers vegetable oil demand expectations, which could halt the sunseed and oil rally and weigh on palm and soy oil prices.
