Over the past week, relative price stability has lagged behind demand Feed corn received in the Danube ports of Ukraine with a certain downward momentum.
Factors of pressure on the price level were the significant stocks of this crop in the country, the need for farmers to have storage space against the background of the early harvest Grains and to unblock the possible resumption of grain exports through deep sea ports. However, higher prices were hampered by higher shipments of corn to the foreign market compared to other crops, despite the abolition of wheat licensing and the high cost of shipping grain to ports. Support for grain demand prices in the hryvnia was also provided by a decrease in the official exchange rate against the US dollar.
Dollar prices of demand for feed corn in the ports of Renee and Ismail fell slightly against the values last week and amounted to 160-190 USD/ton (sometimes 135 USD/ton). Hryvnia purchase prices have not undergone significant changes and have continued to range within 5000-6000 UAH/ton.
