During the September-May 2020/21 marketing year, Belarus experienced a significant shift in its sunflower meal imports, with a notable decrease in imports from Ukraine and an increase in imports from Russia. Ukrainian sunflower meal imports dropped by 42% to 153 thousand tons, largely due to Belarusian buyers' preference for the more economical Russian product. Consequently, Russian sunflower meal imports rose by 16% to 202 thousand tons, thereby increasing Russia's market share to 57% from 40% in the previous season, while Ukraine's share dropped to 43% from 60%.
