Sunflower Seed Prices Drop by Hundreds of Hryvnias as Ukrainian Demand Weakens.

Sunflower Seed Sales in Ukraine: A Market in Decline

According to Novyny.live: Demand for sunflowers in Ukraine is falling, driving down the price of seeds. As of June 5, 2026, a metric ton of sunflower seeds costs 31,083 hryvnias. This decline follows a price drop that started on May 28 of this year. For context, sunflower oil is a key export for Ukraine, and shifts in seed prices often signal broader trends in the country's agricultural economy.
