According to the monitoring data of AI "APK-Inform", the price of soybeans in Ukraine is falling for the second week in a row. The resulting situation is due to the large number of offers of this product on the market. As of November 13, 2024, demand prices for soybeans (GM) are mostly fixed at no higher than UAH 18,200/t SRT, which is lower than the maximum prices announced at the beginning of November by an average of UAH 1,000/t. We will remind that the maximum demand prices for soybeans in the same period last year were usually announced at the level of UAH 16,000/t of SRT.

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.

Soybean prices in Ukraine are falling against a background of reduced export demand caused by increased supplies from South America.
