# Purchase prices for sunflowers have collapsed in Ukraine

> Ukrainian purchase prices for sunflower seed fell to UAH 10,500-12,000/t amid harvesting, Black Sea port blockade and EU import bans on Ukrainian sunflower and rapeseed. Soybean export offers dropped to $365-380/t from about $500-515/t in August, and rapeseed demand prices also declined.
