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 cheaper Russian product. Consequently, Russian sunflower meal imports rose by 16% to 202,000 tons, thereby increasing its market share in Belarus to 57% from 40% in the previous season. This shift has made Russian sunflower meal the dominant product in the Belarusian market, replacing Ukrainian meal which previously held a 60% share.
