- Bullish: Ukrainian feed corn prices rose by UAH 100-200/t week-on-week to UAH 9,100-9,800/t CPT, with southern bids up to UAH 10,600/t CPT on strong export-led demand and limited supply.
- Bullish: Tight farmer selling, robust interest from traders and domestic end-users, and supportive Black Sea export values are reinforcing upward price momentum and margins for sellers.
Ukrainian Feed Corn Price Overview
Ukrainian feed corn extended its rally as of March 20, with bid prices generally assessed at UAH 9,100-9,800/t CPT, up UAH 100-200/t versus the previous week. The southern region continues to command a premium, with bids reported as high as UAH 10,600/t CPT, reflecting intense competition for exportable volumes.
| Region | Price Range (UAH/t, CPT) | Weekly Change (UAH/t) |
|---|---|---|
| All-Ukraine (typical bids) | 9,100 – 9,800 | +100 – 200 |
| Southern Ukraine (premium bids) | Up to 10,600 | +100 – 200 |
Market Drivers
The latest price gains are underpinned by firmer export market valuations, steady buying interest from traders, and resilient demand from domestic end-users. At the same time, active grain supply to the market remains insufficient, with limited farmer selling tightening the near-term balance and amplifying competition for available feed corn.
Market Sentiment and Outlook
Market sentiment is firmly bullish, as rising bids signal a tightening supply-demand balance across the Black Sea region. Premium pricing in southern Ukraine, a key export corridor, highlights strong export pull and supports Ukrainian competitiveness in regional trade flows. Buyers should anticipate ongoing upward pressure on feed corn values in the short term, while sellers may continue to benefit from improved margins and favorable basis levels.
Persistently tight corn availability may lift feed costs for livestock producers and could reshape intra-Black Sea corn flows, as exporters prioritize origins with the best netbacks and logistical advantages.
