# Oilseed rape trade likely to peak by end of the year - Farmers Weekly

> A UK trader advises marketing oilseed rape before year-end as ex-farm prices rose over £40/t in nine weeks to £322.77/t. UK yields are estimated down about 10% on 2017 at 1.85-2 million tonnes, and rapeseed planted area rose for the first time in six years.
