11.11.2026 - 12:51
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy approved the minimum allowable export prices for November 2026. Compared to October, the minimum price for sunflower seeds decreased the most — by almost 35%.
This is evidenced by a comparison of the order of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy No. 145 of November 10 and the October order of the Ministry of Economy No. 2094.
In particular, under FOB supply conditions, the minimum export price for sunflower seeds decreased from $314 to $205 per ton, or by 34.7%. For rapeseed, the figure decreased by 12.8% — from $321 to $280 per ton.
The minimum price for sunflower oil also decreased — from $796 to $732 per ton, or by 8%.
At the same time, the figures for individual grain crops increased. In particular, the minimum export price for corn increased from $131 to $134 per ton, and for barley from $105 to $110 per ton. For wheat, it decreased slightly from $111 to $110 per ton.
The minimum export price for walnuts without shells was revised separately. On FOB terms, it decreased from $6.13 to $4.38 per kilogram. Previously, the Cabinet of Ministers introduced a reduction coefficient of 0.714 for calculating minimum prices for these products in November-December to take into account the seasonality of production and support the competitiveness of exporters.
We remind you that minimum export prices are set monthly, taking into account the terms of delivery under Incoterms. The figures given refer to the FOB basis, under which the seller ensures the loading of the goods onto the vessel at the port of shipment.
In August, the government also updated the mechanism for calculating minimum export prices. At the time, the need for changes was explained by the complication of maritime logistics due to Russian attacks, rising transportation costs, and falling domestic purchase prices for agricultural products.
Earlier, USM reported that the Cabinet of Ministers temporarily adjusted the minimum export prices for grain and oilseed crops to prevent exports from stopping due to problems with sea transportation.
