The beginning of December on the domestic wheat and corn market was marked by a sharp reversal in price dynamics, which was due to the reduction in prices for these crops on world trading floors. The only crop remaining in the growing trend was barley.

Feed wheat lost the most in price last week. According to monitoring data from ProAgro Group, the average price at primary elevators decreased by 250 UAH/ton, and slightly less in ports – by 100 UAH/ton. At the same time, food wheat lost an average of 150 UAH/ton on EXW, and 50 UAH/ton on CPT port. At the same time, export prices for wheat with 12.5% ​​protein content on FOB for the week fell by an average of 7 $/ton, while contracts for feed wheat remained at the same price.

Domestic corn prices also fell last week: on the EXW basis, it lost an average of 150 UAH/ton, and on the CPT port – even more, 200 UAH/ton. The reduction in price was supported by a large supply of corn from producers, who have mostly completed the harvest campaign. Despite the fact that the supply of corn is also sufficient in other exporting countries of the Black Sea region, Ukrainian corn fell in price on FOB/deep-sea ports by only 3 $/ton.

As a result of a decrease in producers’ stocks and a shortage of supply for consignments, barley has once again risen in price. On the basis of elevators and in ports, the price for it increased by an average of 50 UAH/ton. At the same time, barley also added in price in the export direction, on FOB during the week, having risen in price by 7 $/ton.

Domestic processors changed prices last week in unison with traders and exporters. Thus, milling wheat on the basis of the CPT enterprise fell in price by 50 UAH/ton, feed wheat – by 100 UAH/ton, corn – by 200 UAH/ton, while barley rose in price by 50 UAH/ton. At the same time, prices for wheat flour last week once again increased by 200 UAH/ton, although prices for bran remained in the previous range.
