  • What is sunflower seed processing?
  • Sunflower seed processing focuses on sunflower oil as the most valuable product. It is used as high-value oil in various food applications. The deoiled meal is considered a byproduct and is mostly used as animal feed. In 2011, annual world production of deoiled sunflower meal was at 16 million tons (FAO, 2013).
  • What is the export/production ratio of sunflower?
  • If we compare the export/production ratio of the main products involved in the vegetable oils and proteins markets, we see that sunflower is traded mainly after processing: 55% of the oil volumes were exported in 2018/19, 38% of the meals, and only 5% of the harvested seeds.
  • What is the evolution of sunflower seed production & acreage?
  • Evolution of sunflower seed world production (Million Tons, yellow bars) and acreage (Million ha, red bars) 1976-2018 (Source: Oil World, 2019). Evolution of oilseeds production 1975-2019. Evolution of the relative share of 10 oilseeds in Global production (Source: Oil World, 2019). Localisation of the sunflower production.
  • How is sunflower oil extracted?
  • The sunflower oilseeds are passed over magnetic separators to remove any trace of metal and passes through other cleaning machines to remove foreign particles before being de-hulled. To obtain a good quality of oil and meal, seed hulls (20¨C30%) are sometimes removed before oil extraction.
  • How many countries eat sunflower seed oil?
  • Sunflower seed Oil Domestic Consumption by Country in 1000?MnT in 2019. Source Index mundi/USDA. Exports/production ratio for oilseeds and products. 10 years vegetable oils prices evolutions. Sunflower meal balances for 14 main consuming countries.
  • What is sunflower seed oil?
  • Sunflower seed oil one type of vegetable oil that hasn't developed much in Indonesia (Guenther, 1990). Sunflower seeds typically contain 40%-45% oil, 14-18% protein, and 25%-30% skin, the majority of which is made up of inedible crude fiber, according to Le Clef & Kemper (2015).
