Ukraine's losses from November-December border blockade could hit $1.5 bln β NBU
The National Bank of Ukraine has projected that the reduction in Ukraine's foreign trade volume, resulting from restrictions on freight transport movement through the western borders in November and December, may amount to $1.5 billion. Notably, the specified reduction reached $860 mln in November, with an anticipated additional decrease of $620 mln in December, as reported by RBC-Ukraine.
"According to the NBU's estimates, the blocking of specific land crossing points along Ukraine's western borders resulted in export losses of $160 mln in November, coupled with a reduction in imports by $700 mln. Even greater impact on imports is attributed to their higher reliance on road transport compared to exports," the experts clarified.

Soybean prices in Ukraine projected to start decreasing in January
Recent excitement in the Ukrainian soybean market may decline due to shifts in global markets. Such an assumption was made by the experts of the analytical center of the agricultural cooperative "PUSK", created within the framework of the Ukrainian Agrarian Council, during the briefing on December 19, the press service of the UAC reported.
As experts have noted, the supply of soybeans on the Ukrainian market is currently extremely low, despite the sufficient volumes of the oilseed in the country.
βBut there is a huge demand generated by traders and other buyers. Prices have been steadily rising in recent months. Soybean sellers observed that the price of oilseed adds 5-10 USD/t almost every week, so they expected further growth and kept the product," they said.
