Rosstat reports that Russia's production of sunflower oil and its fractions rose by nearly 18% in December 2023 compared to the same month in 2022. The most significant increase was seen in unrefined goods, with a 17.3% rise to 727,200 tons. However, the production of refined products and their fractions saw a minimal increase of 0.3% year on year. The surge in unrefined oil production could be attributed to its superior taste.
