  • Why is sunflower oil so popular in Argentina?
  • This is due to the fact that a high level of stocks remained available for processing during the current year because of the low volume industrialized during the previous crop. Argentina is a major player in the world market of sunflower oil, positioning itself as the 4th biggest producer and the 4th main exporter.
  • 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.
  • Can Argentina become a competitive sunflower oil supplier?
  • Argentina¡¯s Sunflower Oil production has great potential for high-value exports, so the country has increased its harvested area for MY 2022/2023, raising the question of whether Argentina can become a competitive Sunseed Oil supplier against Russia and Ukraine, the leading Sunflower Oil exporters. Sunflower Oil Supply was very tight in 2022.
  • 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.
  • Why did Iran stop importing sunflower oil from Argentina?
  • Meanwhile, Iran completely stopped Sunflower Oil imports from Argentina in Oct 2021 following the political tensions in Aug 2021. India increased imports from Argentina in 2022 as Russia raised restrictions on Sunflower exports after the war in Ukraine began in Mar 2022. As a result, Argentina has made up for export losses to Iran.
