In the 2020/21 marketing year from September-May, Belarus experienced a significant shift in its sunflower meal imports, with a notable decrease in imports from Ukraine by 42% to 153 thousand tons, largely due to the attractive pricing of Russian sunflower meal. This shift led to a substantial increase in Russian sunflower meal exports to Belarus by 16% to 202 thousand tons, thereby raising the market share of Russian product to 57% from 40% in the previous season. Consequently, the share of Ukrainian sunflower meal dropped to 43% from 60%, marking a first for Russian sunflower meal to become the leading choice in the Belarusian market.
