The reduction in the supply of sunflower meal from oil refineries against the backdrop of low profitability of its sale on the domestic market and inactive trade in the export direction contributed to the activation of demand. This, together with the situation in the raw materials market and the decrease of the official exchange rate of the hryvnia against the US dollar by the National Bank of Ukraine, allowed processing companies to increase the offer prices for finished products.
Thus, the offer prices for the specified period increased by UAH 500-1500/t ( USD 13,53-40,52/t ) and as of August 12 are mainly announced within the range of UAH 2500-5000/t (USD 67,53-135/t) EXW.
Note that more active price growth was observed in the northern and western regions.
