In 2016 Belarus demonstrated the lowest index of rapeseed production during 8 recent years. But since the beginning of the current season, the oilseed import volumes were estimated as quite moderate, due to the higher offer prices of imported rapeseed in comparison with the Belarusian oilseed, as well as price environment of the rapeseed oil market.
Thus, in October the bid prices for rapeseed did not exceed $380/ton CPT. For example, the offer prices of Ukrainian rapeseed usually started from $410/ton DAP-Belarus, Russia rapeseed – $400/ton with delivery costs, and Kazakh rapeseed – from $390/ton DAP-Belarus.
