Oilseeds shortage already stops plants

After the launch of the oil plant in Starokonstantyniv, which is already undergoing technological tests, the total capacity of oilseeds processing in Ukraine will reach 25 million tons.

Stepan Kapshuk, general director of the association Ukroliyaprom, said this, reports ProAgro Group, citing AgroPortal.

“It means that all that we grow, which is 23 million tons of oilseeds, we can process. But unfortunately, this is not the case. During the last 4 months about 3 million tons of oil-bearing crops have been exported. There is no rapeseed left “, – Stepan Kapshuk said.

According to him, capacity utilization, given the restrained sales of raw materials by commodity producers, is 50%.

“There were moments when the processing stopped. Chernivtsi was standing for a long time. We must be prepared for this challenge. Today the most important person in Ukraine is a farmer, because in the structure of the cost of sunflower oil 85% takes raw materials. To reduce the price for oil we need to negotiate with farmers”, – said Stepan Kapshuk.
