# Sunseed prices in Ukraine are falling despite high exports of sunflower oil

> Ukraine raised sunflower oil exports 18.5% in the first half of the 2023/24 marketing year, with strong shipments to India and Turkey. Purchase prices for sunseed fell 400-600 UAH/t in the week, following a drop in sunflower meal prices. Low oil prices relative to soybean and palm oil are driving export volumes.
