Palm oil prices have seen a significant drop of 9.6% in the last week, with a total loss of 15.6% over the past two weeks, due to a decrease in export demand, especially from Malaysia. This trend is expected to continue into the next 10 days due to the New Year holidays. Concurrently, soybean oil prices in Chicago have also declined by 7.8%. In contrast, sunflower oil prices in Ukraine and Eastern Europe remain high, with demand prices dropping to 1070-1150 $/t, due to market overcrowding and holiday factors. Sunseed prices in Ukraine have fallen due to decreasing oil prices, with farmers selling other crops as they anticipate market stabilization and increased sunseed supply. Ukroliyaprom, the Ukrainian oilseed association, has urged farmers to speed up sunflower oil sales, attributing the price increase to market factors rather than sunflower oil production. The association also expects global sunflower oil prices to adjust downwards, influenced by the increase in soybean crop sizes.
