International organizations have reduced their global production estimates for sunflower seeds and milling due to adverse weather effects during the Russian harvest, although production in Russia is still expected to be a record. Oil World estimates world production of sunflower seeds at 52.9 Mt, with adjustments in Russia, Ukraine, and the EU. Despite no significant adjustments in global estimates for sunflower oil, the high existence level at the beginning of the campaign has led to a higher projection of world exports. In the January-November 2022 period, Russia's crushing of oilseed increased by 7%, and sowing in the BCP region also increased by 15%.
