Prices for feed corn have decreased in Ukrainian ports

Pressure from external markets and expectations of further price reductions have affected purchase prices in Ukrainian ports.
Since the beginning of last week, purchase prices for feed corn have decreased in Ukrainian ports. This is reported by APK-Inform.
The main factors of influence were the fall in purchase prices on world markets, caused by the US tariff policy, as well as the decrease in trading activity against the background of expectations of further price reductions.
Despite stable demand, farmers limited sales, hoping for more favorable prices in the future. This partially restrained the decline, and in some cases even forced some companies to return to increasing purchase prices, although it was insignificant.
In the ports of Greater Odessa, prices for feed corn fell by 5–6 USD/t and as of March 6, 2025, fluctuate within 213–220 USD/t CPT-port.
In contrast, in the ports of the Danube region, the decrease was 3–6 USD/t, and prices were recorded at 214–222 USD/t CPT-port.
A similar trend was observed in the new crop corn market. Purchase prices for the future crop decreased by 7–10 USD/t and often varied within 190–198 USD/t CPT-port.
The day before, USM reported that in February, Ukrainian exports of sunflower oil fell to a 10-year low.
