Ukraine's sunflower seed exports rose sharply in October, with seed shipments up 3.5-fold from September and oil exports up 84.9%. Domestic sunflower prices kept falling as the harvest reached 10.339 million tonnes from 89% of the sown area, with better yields than last year.
Higher transport costs and slow oil and meal exports added to the pressure.
A larger Ukrainian crush and export supply weighs on sunflower meal and oil prices, and falling competing biofuel oils add further downside into year-end. Buyers of sunflower meal can expect softer offers while shipping costs remain high.
