# Sunflowers and soybeans in Ukraine are falling in price against the background of the new harvest and limited exports 18.10.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> Ukrainian sunflower and soybean prices are falling as harvesting accelerates and export terminals slow due to shelling and grain corridor uncertainty. Sunflower purchase prices fell to UAH 14,500-15,500/t, and soybean GMO purchase prices dropped by 500-700 UAH/t.

## Why it matters

Harvest pressure and reduced port demand push down Black Sea oilseed and meal values, with more volume moving to western borders, which weighs on sunflower meal and soybean meal export pricing.
