Ukrainian sunflower trading slowed last week as processors cut purchases amid limited demand and lower prices for the oilseed. Most plants already have enough raw material stocks, and shipment problems for finished products added pressure.
Some processors in regions where they lacked raw material or competed with exporters raised bids by 200–500 UAH/t.
Lower domestic crush buying signals weaker near-term demand for Ukrainian sunflower seed, which tends to pressure meal and oil margins in the Black Sea supply chain.
