# Low demand from processors puts pressure on soybean and rapeseed prices in Ukraine 20.09.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> Ukrainian soybean and rapeseed processors are struggling to restore crushing volumes because demand for meal and pulp has dropped after the Russian invasion. Rapeseed port purchase prices rose as exports through Black Sea ports resumed. Non-GMO soybean prices at factories also rose by UAH 500/t over the week.

## Why it matters

Weak domestic meal demand limits crush margins and local oilseed bids, while export-led pricing sets the floor. Resumed Black Sea exports support prices but the processing slowdown weighs on meal supply.
