# Ukraine to increase domestic consumption of sunflower meal 09.12.2021 - UkrAgroConsult

> Ukraine's 2021/22 sunflower seed and soybean crops rose 21% and 15%, and UkrAgroConsult expects sunflower meal output to rise 19% and soybean meal 3%. Crushers face competition from exporters for raw seed, which is favored by VAT refunds and importer demand.

## Why it matters

A larger domestic sunflower meal supply, combined with a narrowing soy-sunflower meal price spread that favors soy meal, adds meal availability and may pressure sunflower meal prices.
