Factors Driving the Rise in Prices for the 2026 Rapeseed Crop in Moldova

During the last ten days of July, a clear upward trend in the purchase price of rapeseed for export emerged on the Moldovan market. While just yesterday the “working price” for rapeseed demanded by major traders was around 10 lei/kg, today it has risen to 10.1–10.2 lei/kg. There are several factors driving this growth, the most important of which are the currently limited domestic supply and high external demand. As a result, competition has intensified.
