SOFIA/KYIV. In Ukraine the area sown with sunflower seeds has fallen short of initial expectations. Declines are anticipated in Russia and Coceral has issued revised EU crop estimates.

Ukraine misses target

According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine's preliminary estimate the area sown with sunflower seeds has only reached 5.19 million ha, which is down on the intitially anticipated 5.30 million ha. In Russia ProZerno reckons that production will drop by 8% to 15.80 million mt. Issue is that the area sown has declined from 9.90 million ha to 9.70 million ha and that yields will be lower due to adverse weather conditions.

Russian Sunflower Oil Displaces Ukrainian Oil in the Markets of India and China
Russian oil has started to significantly dominate the key market for Ukrainian oil – the Indian market. This was reported by Andriy Kupchenko, head of business projects at IA "APK-Inform," at the third international fat-and-oil conference "FOC 2024: Fats and Oils Conference," held on June 7 in Almaty.

"Since 2022, the global market has been witnessing a redistribution of sunflower oil flows, directly related to logistical constraints in Ukraine. In the current season, Ukrainian sunflower oil exports to India have decreased by 24%, while exports of Russian product in this direction have increased almost threefold," the expert noted.

Another market where Russian oil has become dominant is the Chinese market. According to A. Kupchenko, since the beginning of the current season, Ukrainian sunflower oil exports to this market have decreased by 70%, although shipments of Russian oil have also declined (by about 40%).
