# The growth of sunflower purchase prices in Ukraine is limited by the low processing margin and the drop in oil prices

> Ukrainian sunflower purchase prices rose UAH 500-600/t to 12,500-13,200/t as processors expanded output and sunflower oil exports. Processing margins fell to an annual low of $50-60/t, which limits further price increases, and export demand rose to 30,000 tonnes in October.

## Why it matters

Thin crush margins restrain processing and therefore sunflower meal output, while higher oil export demand supports prices across the sunflower complex.
