The global sunflower production for the current season has seen a decrease, but milling and oil production are estimated to surpass expectations, primarily driven by increases in Russia and Argentina. The war in Ukraine has led to accelerated seed shipments and a significant reduction in stocks, although there has been an increase in oil production. The demand for sunflower oil is projected to rise, particularly from India and China, due to its current competitiveness in pricing compared to other oils. Argentine sunflower seed production and oil exports are also on the rise. The implementation of the agricultural dollar in Argentina has aided operations and affidavits, despite lower purchases and prices. The sunflower complex in Bahia Blanca saw a 10% annual growth in shipments in 2022.
