On April 1: CIF Rotterdam 510–525 €/t. FOB Odesa 478–490 €/t. Basis −22 to −38 €/t depending on volume and quality.

Outlook Canadian harvest is forecast 8% larger — bearish for July–August. EU sees a 1.2 Mt deficit, partly offsetting.

Strategy If you have a June–July delivery contract, lock in a forward now. September spot is likely 20–30 €/t lower.

Quality Export requires <2% foreign matter and <9% moisture. Lots with 38%+ oil get a 5–10 €/t premium.
