Rapeseed prices have been on a consistent rise for two weeks in a row on the Paris stock exchange, with August futures increasing by 1.3% to €508.25/t or $550.4/t, driven by low yields in Ukraine. Despite the sale of new canola batches from Canada to the EU, prices continue to surge due to a price difference of up to $70/t and restricted export rates. Ukraine's delay in harvesting and producers' reluctance to sell have led to a significant increase in export purchase prices. The situation is further complicated by the impact of oil prices, which remain high due to the potential for reduced Middle East escalation following the election of Iran's opposition president.
