  • 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.
  • How is sunflower oil made?
  • Sunflower oils are cold-pressed. This method, which entails minimal processing, produces a light, flavourful oil suitable for some cooking needs. Sunflower oil manufacture involves cleaning the seeds, grinding them, pressing and extracting the crude oil from them, and further refining.
  • How many tons of sunflower seed oil are there in the world?
  • The world supply of sunflower seed oil for 2008/2009 is estimated at 11.7 million tons (+18% compared with the previous marketing year). The 2008/2009 crop translates into record sunflower seed oil production (in contrast with a decline in soybean oil production).
  • How much oil is produced from sunflower seeds?
  • For every 100 kg of seed, about 40 kg of oil, 35 kg of high-protein meal and 20-25 kg of by-products are produced. More than 90% of the sunflower seeds produced are processed into edible oil.
  • Which countries produce sunflower seed?
  • The Russian Federation, Ukraine and Argentina are the main world producers of sunflower seed and sunflower by-products, as well as suppliers to the global market. These three countries produce over the half of the sunflower seed in the world, which is why these three countries are often referred as the ¡°sunflower triangle¡±.
  • How do high prices affect the production of sunflower seeds?
  • Also higher plantings (encouraged by high prices) have an impact on larger harvest (or improved output). The additional supplies of sunflower seed resulted in an increase in seed crushing activity (to produce oil and meal) to above or near historic highs in each of these countries.
