Bulgaria has transformed its sunflower seed (SFS) export business into a sunflower oil and meal export business after investing significantly in processing capacity between 2022 and 2023. The primary markets for Bulgarian oil include India and South Africa, while China, Israel, and Morocco are the main markets for sunflower meal. The USA, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK are the key markets for refined sunflower oil. However, a predicted shortage of SFS in 2024 due to a reduced harvest and lost imports from Ukraine could lead to stable oilseed processing issues and an increase in SFS prices. This problem is also expected to impact Romania in 2025.

The low SFS harvest in 2024 (1.42 M mt) and the loss of SFS imports from Ukraine, as it was in 2022-2023, leads to a surplus of processing capacity. The problem is already regional. In Romania, a shortage and an increase in SFS prices are also possible in 2025. Full version of the article is available to subscribers of the ...
