Sunflower sector in Ukraine is experiencing a decrease in prices due to a drop in sunflower oil export prices and a reluctance by farmers to sell their raw materials. Some companies have reduced their purchase prices slightly, but significantly more decreases were observed on December 20 in various regions. Demand prices have fallen to 23,500-25,000 UAH/t CPT, but large volume and fast delivery still incur additional surcharges. Most agricultural producers are holding off on sales, hoping for price strengthening in January-February.
