From the beginning of last week, soybean prices on the Ukrainian market increased after a brief decrease.
Purchase prices reached 17.2 - 17.5 thousand hryvnias or 40.7 - 41.41 thousand rubles per ton on CPT terms. This is 100-200 hryvnias or 235-475 rubles more than last week. Prices for consumer demand for genetically modified soybeans range from 16,300 to 18,200 hryvnias or 38,570 to 43,065 rubles.
Analysts explained the price increase by the rise in the cost of soybean meal and sunflower oil exports. This led to an acceleration of deliveries of these goods in the current month. As a result, vegetable oil producers had to increase expenses to urgently replenish stocks. However, they were not able to significantly raise costs.
