USDA: Oilseed crop forecast for the Black Sea region decreased

16 September, 2019 at 15:09

In the September report, USDA decreased its 2019/20 oilseed crop estimate for the Black Sea region by 0.4 MMT, to 46.098 MMT: sunflower seed down 0.1 MMT, rapeseed down 0.1 MMT, soybeans down 0.2 MMT.

The soybean and rapeseed crop projections were reduced due to downward adjustments in the respective estimates for Ukraine, while Kazakhstan accounted for the cut in the sunflower seed forecast, reports UkrAgroConsult.
