[QUOTE="AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds, post: 8020558, member: 142623"] Although latest analysis may seem repetitive, current affairs in Ukraine are very topical and could have the potential lasting impacts to drive your rapeseed price next year. As mentioned in [URL='https://ahdb.org.uk/news/market-report-28-february-2022']Monday’s market report[/URL], Ukraine and Russia collectively account for 10% of global major oilseed production (rapeseed, soyabeans, sunflower). In this analysis I want to focus on how the disruption, notably in the Ukraine, will impact oilseed prices going forward. I am going to discuss: [LIST] [*]Why the Black Sea region is so important for setting oilseed market sentiment. [*]How this could impact Ukraine’s upcoming sowing season, which could impact sunflower seed production. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Why is the Black Sea region important?[/HEADING] The main oilseed grown in the Black Sea region is sunflowers. Being large processors, Ukraine and Russia on average (2017-2021) collectively account for c.60% of global sun oil production and account for over 76% of global exports. As Helen discussed last week, [URL='https://ahdb.org.uk/news/export-issues-ahead-as-russia-invades-ukraine-analyst-s-insight?']Ukraine were yet to export 4Mt of sun oil by 14 February 2022 for this marketing year[/URL] to fulfil the USDA’s forecast. For Russia, data shows sun oil exports at over 550Kt from September to December 2021. This is behind previous years. Russian full year (Sep-Aug) sun oil exports forecast is 3.8Mt (USDA). Based on 5-year-averages, over 30% of Russian sun oil is exported between March-May. Therefore, there is still a sizable amount to be exported (© 2022 IHS Markit - Federal Customs Service of Russia). [HEADING=2]Ukrainian sunflower seed production focus[/HEADING] Old crop trade is not the only concern. Attention needs to be made to the 2022/23 crop too. As Ukraine accounts for c.30% of global sunflower seed production (5-year-average), they have great influence over market sentiment. With the Ukraine currently experiencing large disruption this could impact sunflower plantings in the region.
