    Ukraine: sunflower seed prices continue growing


      sunflower seed ukraine      According to the market participants, due to a decrease of the precipitation volumes, some regions of Ukraine resumed the harvesting campaign of sunflower seed. The quality of the oilseed harvest at the present stage is estimated as quite low, the main complaints come to the sphere of the high weed rate of the oilseed and the low oil content, which varies within the range of 39-44%.
      Rather low yield of sunflower seed is typical for agricultural enterprises of the southern oblasts, and to date the index was announced at the level of not more than 12 c/ha (Nikolayev, Kherson, Odessa oblasts). According to agrarians of the individual eastern oblasts (Kharkiv, Luhansk oblasts), the local yield varied within the range of 18-20 c/ha.
      Due to information of worsening of the quality of the harvested sunflower seed, and the low number of offers on the domestic market of oilseeds, Ukraine faced the growth of the supply /demand prices for the new crop oilseed. During the current week the purchasing prices varied within the range of 4100-4350 UAH/t EXW, and nearly 4600 UAH/t CPT-enterprise. But in the previous week the processors mainly declared the purchasing prices at the maximum level of 4450 UAH/t CPT.
      In the current week the exporters were ready to sell Ukrainian sunflower seed on foreign markets at the prices within the range of 650-670 USD/t FOB.

      Solidarity with the people of Ukraine

      Since the spring of 2021, Russia has been building up troops near the Ukrainian border and on the territory of Belarus. The strike group reached at least 150,000.

      US and British intelligence have warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing a large-scale invasion to dislodge the legitimately elected government of Ukraine.

      On February 24, Russia attacked Ukraine along the entire length of the common border, from the territory of Belarus and the occupied Crimea.

      The Russian army shelled border outposts and carried out airstrikes on more than 40 objects of military infrastructure in almost all regions of Ukraine. The movement of tank columns and manpower began.

      Putin called it a “special operation” aimed at “demilitarizing and denazifying Ukraine.”

      The Army of Ukraine, the National Guard, the police, and Teroborona (territorial defense groups) are putting up fierce resistance.

      Martial law and general mobilization were declared in Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said: “Ukrainians are on their land and will not give it to anyone.”

      Western countries apply more and more sanctions against Russia and provide weapons to Ukraine.

      The Armed Forces of Ukraine knocked out the Russian military from the Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, and Sumy region. They are being pushed out of Kharkiv Oblast. Fighting continues in Donbas and southern Ukraine.

      The Russian army is bombing, and shelling residential quarters of cities, and destroying civilian infrastructure, hospitals, schools, and historical monuments.

      Ukraine filed a lawsuit against Russia in The Hague. On March 16, the UN International Court of Justice passed an interim decision – it ordered Russia to stop hostilities in Ukraine. The Kremlin did not react.

      A separate proceeding regarding Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is being conducted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
