Learn how the current rapeseed price in €/t is formed — the link to the MATIF Paris exchange, the vegetable oil and biodiesel market and the decisive influence of oil content. At Feliz s.r.o. we buy rapeseed from Slovak and European farmers at fair market prices, with our own logistics straight from your farm.
The reference exchange for rapeseed is MATIF Paris (Euronext), which quotes rapeseed directly in €/t. Below are indicative levels compared with the other crops; you can find the live exchange price of wheat and corn on the home page in the Prices section. We confirm the binding purchase price for rapeseed on inquiry.
Prices are indicative market levels — they serve neither as a binding purchase price nor as investment advice. We will gladly confirm your specific purchase price for rapeseed based on an inquiry.
The rapeseed price is set mainly on the MATIF exchange in Paris (Euronext), the main European reference, which quotes rapeseed directly in euros per tonne (€/t). Rapeseed is an oilseed, so its price is closely linked to demand for vegetable oil and the biodiesel market. The rapeseed price runs to several hundred euros per tonne — usually substantially higher than cereals such as wheat or corn.
For rapeseed too, the difference between the exchange and the purchase price applies. The exchange price is the reference quotation on MATIF; the purchase price is the amount you actually receive for rapeseed, and it is adjusted most by the oil content of your harvest, the moisture and the share of impurities.
For rapeseed the most important price-forming parameter is the oil content. The base at purchase is usually 40 %. For each percent of oil content above the base there is typically a premium, and for lower oil content the price is reduced proportionally. Rapeseed with higher oil content therefore brings a higher purchase price at the same exchange price. The commonly grown "00" varieties (low erucic acid and low glucosinolates) are the standard for food and technical use.
Below are indicative parameters that affect the purchase price of rapeseed. The exact limits and the premium system for oil content vary by buyer and vintage.
| Parameter | Recommended value | Effect on price |
|---|---|---|
| Oil content | 40 – 42 % (base 40 %) | premium per % above the base |
| Moisture | ≤ 8 – 9 % | higher = deduction and drying |
| Impurities | ≤ 2 % | deduction above the limit |
| Variety type | "00" (low erucic acid) | standard for oil/biodiesel |
| Healthy, non-heated grain | yes | condition for the full price |
Tip: For rapeseed it pays most to watch oil content and moisture. Higher oil content means a premium, while wet rapeseed is subject to a deduction and drying costs. Have an analysis done and state the oil content in your inquiry — that lets us give you a more precise price.
Several factors act on the final rapeseed price at once:
In Europe rapeseed is the main raw material for the production of rapeseed oil and biodiesel. That is why its price reacts not only to the classic agronomic factors (harvest, weather, stocks) but also to demand for fuels and to legislation supporting biofuels. Strong demand from oil processors and biodiesel producers usually keeps the rapeseed price well above the level of cereals.
Rapeseed is usually harvested here in July, ahead of the main cereal harvest. During the harvest the new crop enters the market and the price is under pressure; later the trend follows demand from processors and world oilseed balances. When deciding on the timing of the sale, also weigh the costs and risks of storage (rapeseed is sensitive to moisture and heating).

The most common questions from farmers about the current and purchase price of rapeseed.
The rapeseed price is set mainly on the MATIF Paris exchange and is closely linked to demand for vegetable oil and biodiesel. It is quoted in €/t and runs to several hundred euros per tonne. The decisive parameter for the purchase price is oil content, moisture and impurities. We confirm the exact price usually within 24 hours of an inquiry.
Oil content is the key parameter. The base is usually 40 %; for each percent above the base there is typically a premium, and for lower oil content a deduction. Rapeseed with higher oil content therefore brings a higher purchase price at the same exchange price.
