  • 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 sunflower oil prices decrease in 2008-2009?
  • The supply of sunflower oil in the Russian Federation, Ukraine and EU-27 increased in 2008-2009 as compared with the previous marketing year and resulted in a sunflower seed price decrease. General downward trends in the market of vegetable oils were also caused by a cut in prices for crude oil.
  • Should sunflower oil prices be reduced?
  • Declining freight rates and sunflower oil prices should encourage price-sensitive consumers who prefer sunflower oil to buy more sunflower oil than in 2007/2008. In addition, countries with developed storage facilities should be encouraged to replenish stocks from a low 2007/2008 carryover.
  • 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 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.
  • 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).
