# Grain market review: Oilseeds | World Grain

> Oilseed prices have surged as the Russia-Ukraine war disrupted two of the largest sunflower oil and meal exporters. Ports have closed and shipping has halted, and export licensing in Ukraine means fob prices are no longer freely quoted. Argentine Up River sunflower oil offers reached a record near $2,400 fob, up about 70% in a month.
