A Phoenix Agro analyst said Ukrainian sunflower prices this season are too low for farmers to profit from domestic sales, while exports to Bulgaria and Turkey can still be profitable. He said processors are earning stronger margins than growers, and spring rapeseed plantings may expand after unusually high farmer demand for seed.
Weak grower returns could discourage sunflower planting and constrain future seed supply, although the article gives no firm acreage forecast. The analyst suggested prices could stabilize by spring, but domestic sunflower prices are currently under pressure.
