# Russian Strike Halts Astarta Soy Plant, Tightens Black Sea Soybeans

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

## Why it matters

Reduced crushing capacity can tighten regional meal and oil availability and shift export flows from processed products toward raw soybeans. That supply risk adds upward price pressure for Black Sea soybean products, although the scale and duration of the disruption remain uncertain.
