Ukraine is experiencing dry and hot weather, leading to an early sunflower harvest with potentially low yields and oil content due to heatwaves, though processors have not yet raised prices. New harvest sunflowers are being offered at UAH 19,000-20,000/ton. Global market prices for sunflower oil and meal are decreasing due to an oversupply of cheap soybean meal and other oils. The European Commission has reduced its sunflower production forecast for Europe due to unfavorable weather, with Bulgaria and Hungary also experiencing reductions in their production estimates.
