# W18: Sunflower Update

> The European Commission agreed with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria to restrict Ukrainian wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower supply from May 2 to June 5, in exchange for EU aid. Ukrainian sunflowerseed demand prices fell about USD 33-41 per tonne in early May as refinery buying slowed.

## Why it matters

The restrictions limit Ukrainian oilseed and grain flows into the EU and change regional supply routes. The lower Ukrainian seed prices reflect weaker crush demand.
