  • How much sunflower is produced in Argentina?
  • Argentina¡¯s total sunflower production in grain, meal, and oil has been around 10% of global sunflower production for the business years 2010 to 2013. In spite of a strong domestic consumption (12.3 liters/inhabitant), global trade fluctuates around 14% in meal, 16.2% in oil, and a low 4.4% in untransformed sunflower seed ( USDA, 2013 ).
  • Is sunflower a export oriented business in Argentina?
  • In Argentina, sunflower is an export-oriented business; sunflower products are primarily shipped as oil and flour, and to a lesser extent seed is also exported. Given that 60% of the oil produced is exported in a normal season and that flour has a low relative value, over 80% of sunflower value is explained by the international value of its oil.
  • Are sunflowers irrigated or rain fed in Argentina?
  • Sunflower grain production crops are rain fed in Argentina, although irrigated crops are used to assist the hybrid seed industry (ASAGIR, 2013). Average sunflower yields were far lower than 2 t/ha until the 2010 harvest; since then they have been very close to 2 t/ha.
  • 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 products are made from sunflower seeds?
  • Sunflowers are used to make oil, meal and confectionary products. Oil and meal are processed from the same sunflower seed varieties. The seed variety used foe confectionary products has a lower percentage of oil.
  • Why did Argentina lose its role as a sunflower oil exporter?
  • Since then, it had kept its area between 1.8 million and 2.3 million ha, according to the crop competitiveness compared to soybean. During this period, economic reforms in countries of the former Soviet Union resulted in Argentina finally losing its leading role as sunflower oil exporter at the hands of the Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
