Favorable weather conditions in the Canadian Prairies and Western Europe are aiding canola development and harvest, while dry conditions are expected in Australia. The USDA has increased its global canola production forecast by 0.8 Mt to 87.9 Mt, with Canada expected to have the best crop in five years. However, high temperatures and lack of rainfall in the Black Sea region are impacting sunflower production, leading to a reduction in the EU crop and raising concerns about the potential impact on processing and production of sunflower oil and meal. The USDA's report of reduced production and processing in Russia and Ukraine is supporting the sunflower and sunflower products markets.
