Within reporting week soybeans/rape prices on Ukrainian domestic oilseeds’ market remained stable. However, sunseeds’ prices have, once again, declined (though not as deeply as within previous week: as of this week, sunseeds’ prices have sagged just by UAH100 per MT). Experts admit within this week Ukrainian domestic oilseeds’ market was influenced by national currency factor and global market fundamental factors. On export market, soybeans/rape prices remained relatively stable. At same time, export market sun.pell prices have, once again, significantly declined. Simultaneously, export market crude sunoil prices have declined just slightly. It is to be admitted, within this week global vegetable oils’ market was strongly influenced by global petrol market prices’ fall and global soy.oil/palm oil high reserves. At same time, global sun.pell/soy.pell market prices were going down due to high offer, weak demand and, additionally, expectations for South America offer growth (as Brazil and Argentina are going to harvest soybeans’ record crop and, besides, Argentina is liberalizing its foreign trade and simultaneously facing its national currency devaluation). In meanwhile, within this week Ukrainian domestic market sunseeds processed products’ prices were, upon whole, going down (due to no support from export market). As of this week, Ukrainian domestic market soy.pell/soybeans meal prices have also slightly sagged; however, domestic market soyoil prices have remained about same as within previous week.
Within reporting week Ukrainian oilseeds’ harvesting campaign has been completed.
Thus, as to Ukrainian Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food operative data, as of this year Dec 16, Ukrainian agrarians have harvested 3,771.000 MT soybeans at 2,129.000 ha, average yield — 17.7 metric centners per ha. So, this year soybeans’ harvesting is already over. Also, as of this year Dec 16, agrarians have harvested 11,094.000 MT sunseeds at 5,021.000 ha, average yield — 22.1 metric centners per ha. Thus, this year sunseeds’ harvesting has been completed.
In meanwhile, as of this year Dec 16, winter rape has been sown at 655,000 ha (or 80% total planned 823,000 ha).

Simultaneously, within this week Ukrainian domestic market sun.pell offer prices have dropped to UAH4,900–5,100 per MT (down UAH100 per MT against previous week); sunseeds meal prices have plummeted to UAH4,100–4,700 per MT (down UAH300 per MT as of last week).
Soybeans As of this week, Ukrainian home market soybeans’ prices remained unchanged. Experts admit country home market soybeans’ prices were supported by exporters’ stable demand and Ukrainian export market stable sale prices. It is to be mentioned, within this week Ukrainian home market soybeans’ prices remained high due to country soybeans’ producers being able to assure just low sale rates. So, within this week Ukrainian home market soybeans’ EXW purchase prices ranged within UAH9,000–9,300 per MT (same as within previous week); at same time, CPT plant purchase prices were UAH9,200–9,400 per MT (unchanged against last week).
