The root cause of the tremendous demand for rapeseed is the crop failure of this crop, experts of UkrAgroConsult comment. According to them, the rapeseed crop in 2017 has the opportunity to significantly exceed last year's.
"Profitability and margin are key indicators of what farmers should do. We can already summarize the rise of rapeseed areas: in this year, 900 thousand hectares were sown, while last year it was around 650 thousand In the event of favorable weather for the crop, Ukraine has the opportunity to harvest a rather satisfactory crop - 1,900,000 tons of rapeseed in 2017 compared with 1,200,000 tons in 2016, ”experts predict.
