# Sunflower prices in Ukraine are rising against the backdrop of a low harvest, long rains and rising rapeseed prices

> Continued rain in Ukraine has delayed sunflower harvesting, with only 10% of the area threshed by September 15. Purchase prices rose to UAH 15,500-16,500/t, and the sunflower harvest is forecast to fall to 9-10 million tons from 17.5 million last year.

## Why it matters

A sharply reduced Ukrainian sunflower crop cuts meal and oil export availability and supports prices. Rot losses from excess rain could reduce supply further.
