# Purchase prices for new crop sunseeds lower than in the beginning of last season

> Ukrainian processors have set new-crop sunflower purchase prices at 9,100-10,300 UAH/t, 7-10% below last year's late-August levels, mainly due to a stronger hryvnia at about 25.1 UAH/USD. Ukraine's sunflower crop is forecast at 15 million tonnes and harvest results will shape prices.
