Ukraine maintains stable rapeseed export rates. As of December 8, 52,000 tons have been shipped, while in November the figure was almost 158,000 tons. According to predictions, exports in December will remain within the range of 105,000-150,000 tons.

This was reported by the analytical department of the First Ukrainian Agricultural Cooperative (FUAC), created within the UAC.

"Rapeseed exports remain stable. Paid duties have begun to return, and liquidity is gradually shifting towards exporters. On the European market, rapeseed has been trading in a narrow range of EUR477-480 per ton for about two months. There are price fluctuations of 2–3%, but there is no real dynamics. However, the crop may go up. The key driver now is soybeans: if they rise, rapeseed may also rise in price to EUR500–510 per ton," the analysts noted.

The situation is similar on the domestic market: the conditional price remains at 550–560 USD per ton, and the indicative price of processing enterprises is 24,000–24,500 UAH/t.

“The market is generally stable. There are isolated cases of higher prices, but they are individual. Some factories are accelerating purchases due to a shortage of other crops, in particular sunflower, so a slight increase is possible,” the FUAC added.

Forward trading in rapeseed from the 2026 harvest will soon intensify.

"The first indicative prices for new harvest rapeseed are announced at USD430–435 per ton CPT port for small shipments in July–August. The best period for forward fixing is traditionally January–March. There are no visible risks for the new harvest at the moment, but it is still too early to conclude contracts for large volumes," the analysts concluded.
