A Poltava region farmer reports that sunflower was more profitable than wheat and corn this season, with forward contracts sold at $615 per ton for conventional seed and $650 per ton for high-oleic seed. Broader agricultural prices have fallen, squeezing grain margins.
Sunflower profitability relative to grain can shift Ukrainian planting toward oilseeds, supporting sunflower meal and oil supply later. The evidence is one farm's account, so the price effect is modest.
