# Oilseed rape prices remain steady

> AHDB said rapeseed prices had remained steady, with May 2027 Paris futures recently reaching £464 per tonne despite broader pressure across oilseeds. France’s drought-hit sowing conditions prompted a forecast for its 2027/28 rapeseed area to fall 5% year on year to 6.1 million hectares; the US soybean harvest was 79% complete as of October 25.

## Why it matters

A smaller French rapeseed area could tighten future European oilseed supply and support rapeseed prices relative to other oilseeds. The advanced US soybean harvest and expected record crop add pressure to soybean prices and the wider oilseed complex.
