According to the updated forecasts of APK-Inform analysts, in 2017 the general harvest volumes of sunflower seed in Ukraine will total 13.8 mln tonnes, which is somewhat lower compared with the previous estimations (14 mln tonnes), and the last year volumes (14.9 mln tonnes).

In particular, APK-Inform made a downward adjustment taking into account the real-time data about the oilseed harvesting rates, which reported the decline of yield indices by 10-20% in some oblasts of the country.

Also, in the current year Ukraine faced some worsening of the qualitative indicators of sunflower seed, which would have a negative impact on estimations of sunflower oil production in 2017/18 MY. In the harvest-2017, Ukraine will receive a large number of hollow seeds and low oil content - at 42-44%, as opposed to 45% and above last year.

At the same time, the Agency analysts reduced the forecast of soybean harvest in Ukraine to 3.74 mln tonnes, against the previous forecast at 4 mln tonnes, and the last year record harvest of 4.3 mln tonnes, due to the decline of yield estimations.

You can receive more detailed information about estimations of the harvest volumes of oilseed crops in Ukraine in 2017 within frames of the sixteenth international conference "Fat-and-Oil Industry - 2017", to be held in Kyiv, on October 26.
