Grain

After a short-term decline at the beginning of the week, Ukrainian corn prices quickly recovered and reached $218–222/t on a DAP-port basis.

Agroholding Kernel processed almost a million tons of oilseeds in the third quarter of the 2026 fiscal year.

The decline in prices at ports is taking place against the backdrop of weak demand from exporters and high competition in key export directions.

Freight rates in the Black Sea are held at current levels, but limited cargo volumes and differences in expectations between parties are holding back deals.

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister drew the attention of his Israeli counterpart to the situation with the import of stolen Ukrainian grain brought from the Russian Federation.

Despite stable FOB quotes, the pace of shipments through ports lags behind last year’s.

The arrest of former Minister of Agricultural Policy Mykola Solskyi concerns an episode of grain fraud worth UAH 62.7 million.

The court took into custody three suspects in the case of the seizure of grain worth UAH 776 million in the state-owned State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine.

FOB prices in the ports of Great Odesa demonstrate an almost complete lack of difference between the old and new harvest, and for corn, forward is even more expensive than spot.

The most significant increase will affect grain trucks, the cost of which will increase to 2,500 UAH per day excluding VAT.
