## Why it matters

Lower export price floors give Ukrainian sellers more room to offer oilseeds and sunflower oil abroad, potentially increasing export competitiveness and putting pressure on competing regional prices. The higher corn and barley floors could modestly constrain the competitiveness of those exports.
