Trading in Ukrainian sunflower slowed last week amid moderate processor demand and further declines in sunflower oil prices. Many processors had already secured enough raw material, and difficult shipments of processed products prompted some plants to lower bids to 13,000–14,500 UAH per tonne in northern, eastern and parts of central Ukraine, and 15,500–17,000 UAH per tonne in the south and west.
Adequate processor inventories and constrained product shipments are reducing buying interest and putting pressure on sunflower seed prices. Competition from exporters and mills needing supplies has limited the declines in some areas.
