# Russian attack shuts down Astarta’s soybean plant, tightening soybean supplies in the Black Sea

> A Russian air attack on November 8 damaged Astarta’s soybean-processing plant in Hlobyne, Ukraine, forcing it to shut down. The outage disrupts Ukrainian crushing and could temporarily reduce nearby-market supplies of soybean meal and soybean oil; the extent of the damage is still being assessed.

## Why it matters

Reduced Ukrainian processing may tighten regional soybean meal and soybean oil availability and shift trade flows toward alternative suppliers, supporting prices. The attack also adds a risk premium to Black Sea soybean-product markets.
