- Regional location – regions closer to ports or processing facilities usually have higher prices.
- Terms of agreement – whether VAT is included, self-delivery or transport provided, purchase volume.
When is it profitable to sell
Experts advise that autumn is the most favorable period for selling sunflower, as demand rises and processors compete for raw materials. Farmers who can ensure proper storage conditions and preserve seed quality can achieve significantly higher profits compared to quick sales.
👉 This season offers Ukrainian farmers a real chance to maximize profits. Monitoring regional prices and making timely sales decisions will help ensure the best possible result.
