In Ukraine, there may be a shortage of sunflower for processing.

According to Spike Brokers, the gross sunflower harvest could be around 10.5 million tons. This figure may not cover the capacities of the surplus processing industry. This is reported by Latifundist.com. As of October 16, sunflower has been harvested from an area of 3.9 million hectares in Ukraine, with a gross harvest of 7.1 million tons, corresponding to an average yield of 1.84 tons per hectare. The total expected harvest area is 5.1 million hectares, meaning about 1.2 million hectares remain to complete the harvest campaign. "Assuming that the yield on the remaining areas by regions will be 10% higher than the current level, the expected final gross sunflower harvest could reach approximately 10.5 million tons. This level of sunflower harvest will cause a significant raw material deficit for Ukraine's already surplus processing industry," the brokers noted.
