Sunflower prices increased last week and fluctuated in the range of 25-27.5 thsd UAH/t CPT, due to the activity of purchases and the amount of supply of raw materials on the market, according to the analytical cooperative “Start”, created within the framework of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council. “A number of companies reported fairly good receipts of the oilseed, while some small enterprises suspended operations until the price situation on the market improved,” the analysts said. According to their information, prices for sunflower oil in the domestic market continued to grow, while prices for sunflower meal continued to decline significantly. Processors, trying to balance in such a situation, in some cases refused to sell the meal on the domestic market, while oil was offered at rather high prices, but left the market, they stated.
