# Sunflower seeds: First expectations for crops in 2017 - Mundus Agri

> Bulgarian and Ukrainian sunflower seed prices have softened, with black sunflower seed at 355 EUR/mt CPT Varna and Bulgarian prices down 5 EUR/mt to 655 EUR/mt FCA. Mills are expected to process about 800,000 mt in 2016/17, around 42% of the crop of over 1.7m mt. Weather and power supply in Bulgaria are returning to normal, and buyers are cautious about long-term contracts.

## Why it matters

Easing seed prices and cautious forward buying point to ample near-term supply for crushers and feed users in Eastern Europe. Market participants expect unchanged sunflower acreage for 2017, so no major supply shift is priced in yet.
