Sunflower seed prices have seen a significant increase at Ukrainian Danube ports at the start of January, according to AI "APK-Inform". This price hike is attributed to a decrease in the supply of oilseeds from farmers due to the New Year holidays and the fulfillment of previously agreed contracts. The competition between processors and export companies has also played a role in the price rise, with demand for sunflower seeds seeing an increase of 500-900 UAH/t, ranging between 16,700-18,400 UAH/t SRT-port as of January 10.
