Producer prices in Boeotia, Fthiotida and areas of Thessaly remain in an upward channel, with 24 cents in the producer tending to become the norm, while more northern zones such as Serres and Drama are still playing at 20 to 22 cents per kilo in corn. Imported grain is getting more and more expensive every week, hopefully at 248-250 euros a ton CIF, making it easier for feed companies to pay cash in 24 cents to stockists in Central Greece, while increased demand by 1 million tonnes from Turkey until the end of 2024 and increased FOB Ukraine, save for further positive fluctuations in Romanian CIF, perhaps up to €260 per tonne. On the other hand, of course, in Viotia and Fthiotida they often say that "we open our doors to trade from 27 cents and above" expecting better prices in the near future. In Serres, Drama and Kavala, the few kilos in the harvest and the lower prices due to pressure from Bulgaria, led most to sell at 20-22 cents, while today's prices remain at these levels. The reason is none other than the kilometer distance with the businesses of southern Greece and the price in Bulgarian. "At the same price (24 cents) that I sell corn to the farmer , the truck comes from Bulgaria and delivers product to the units, how can I give the 24 cents to the producer today?" asks the owner of a livestock business from Serres.

No significant price adjustments were observed in the fodder corn sector last week. High competition for grain between processing and export-oriented companies and insufficiently active receipt of grain offers due to restraint of sales by agrarians continued to support prices. APK-Inform writes about this. However, downward price dynamics on the export market exerted pressure on prices. The final stage of harvesting late crops continues, which also influenced the gradual decline in prices. Demand prices for fodder corn were announced mainly in the range of UAH 8,100-9,200/t SRT.

Ukrainian farmers had sown almost 5 million hectares of winter grains for the 2025 harvest as of Nov. 11, or 96.3% of the expected area of 5.19 million hectares, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday. It said the area included almost 4.4 million hectares of winter wheat, or 97.2% of the projected area. Winter wheat generally accounts for 95% of overall Ukrainian wheat output each year. Farmers had also sown 577,800 hectares of winter barley and 68,100 hectares of rye. Ukraine’s state weather forecasters said last month that most of the country’s winter crop was under threat as almost all seedlings were under-developed. A record long drought this summer and in the early autumn led many farmers to sow grain in dry soil in the hope that the autumn rains and mild winter will allow the seeds to germinate and produce a good crop.
