Apparently, this week a huge increase took place. CPT prices for rapeseeds in ports have boosted by 40 $/t and went up to 600 $/t. The reason is likely to be the following – some market participants have to close their contracts for rather big volumes. Due to unstable prices at the market, the farmers are not in a hurry to sell their volumes. So the traders had to increase the price to collect necessary volumes.

In addition, rapeseed was harvested on an area of 569 thousand hectares (56% of the forecast) with an average yield of 2.61 t / ha.  Almost 1.5 million tons of seeds new crops are available now.
