In Ukraine, sunflower prices have approached the historical price maximum of 25-27 thousand UAH/ton of CPT, according to APK-Inform news agency.
“There are already the first small enterprises that have switched from sunflower processing to alternative crops due to high prices, but other oilseeds are not so good,” the analysts said, adding that many processors report the margin is almost non-existent.
Large plants can afford to work in the red for some time, while small processing companies will either have to stop working until the price situation improves or switch to processing other oilseeds, APK-Inform stated.
