The processing volumes of key oilseeds showed a decrease during February 2017

According to ProAgro, the processing of all major oilseeds in February 2017 was reduced in comparison with the results of the previous month.

Thus, the Ukrainian enterprises for the reporting month compared with January of this year reduced the volume of processing sunflower by 9%. At the same period the production of unrefined sunflower oil and sunflower meal / cake of sunflower was reduced as well, however, production of refined oil, by contrast, increased by 7.4%.

It should be noted that despite the reduction in processing volumes during the last two months, caused in many respects by seasonal phenomena, the indicators of the current season show a significant excess of the output of most categories of sunflower complex products in comparison with the corresponding indicators of the previous marketing year. For example, the volumes of sunflower oil production in February 2017 exceed the corresponding figure of February 2016 by almost 30%. The cumulative result of September-February 2016/17 is higher than the results of the corresponding period of the previous season by 43%.

The indicators of soybean processing in February 2017 also showed a moderate decrease both in relation to the parameters of the previous month and in comparison with the results of February 2016. In general, as a result of September-February 2016/17, soybean processing volumes in Ukraine decreased by 5.7% compared to the same period of the previous season. In our opinion, the decrease in the volume of soybean processing in the current season is due to, firstly, the active export of raw materials and, secondly, to the reduction in demand for soybean meal / cake from the country”s livestock sector, in particular the poultry sector.
