Price gap over wheat makes rapeseed production more attractive
Ex-farm prices of rapeseed climbed over the course of the year. By the end of 2024, they hovered around the mark of 500 EUR per tons, a level not seen since the start of the war in ukraine. Soft wheat moved up and down at the producer level throughout the year but did not exceed the previous year's level slightly until December. As a consequence, the price spread between rapeseed and soft wheat has grown continuously. Most recently, rapeseed fetched almost 2.5 times the price of wheat.
