Sunflower remains the most profitable oilseed crop.

This season, sunflower is expected to remain the most profitable oilseed crop, with a return rate of around 58%, reports pole.rf, citing a forecast from the analytical center of Ruseed. According to their estimates, the gross profitability of growing rapeseed will be around 28-30%, for soybeans around 33%, and for linseed around 32-35% due to limited volumes and low competition. However, the harvesting campaign is not yet complete, so the yield and supply figures will be refined by the end of the year.

As explained to the publication by the head of the analytical center of Ruseed, Margarita Svishcheva, weather adjustments have influenced the allocation of resources. "The drought in the southern regions has limited the supply of sunflower and thereby supported domestic prices. Rapeseed maintains stability due to high export demand, which helps offset rising costs. Meanwhile, the expected record supply of soybeans is putting pressure on prices, reducing the margin compared to the previous season," said Svishcheva.
