Ukrainian oilseeds export digest – July 2017

7 August 2017

In July Ukrainian soybeans export has been at the lowest since the start of MY2016/17 level, while export of sunflower oil remains very active and already exceeded initial expectations for the whole season.

In reporting month Ukraine exported close to 510k tons of sunoil (USD 374M), which approximately corresponds to June export volume, however y-o-y it grew by 40%. Since the start of current season Ukrainian sunflower oil export already exceeded 5M tons and up to the August 1st made 5.45M. It is higher vs. our initial expectations of 5.2M tons, which can be indirect evidence that factual Ukrainian sunflower seeds crop in Y2016 was higher vs. official figures (13.6M tons).

Average sunflower oil export price in June comprised USD 734/t (on the level of previous month).
