Kazakh oilseed processors plan to begin exporting sunflower meal to China in 2023, with a draft protocol expected to be signed by year-end. China imported about 2.2 million tonnes of sunflower meal over the last two seasons.
Central Asia currently imports Argentine soybean meal to cover a shortfall of about 200 thousand tonnes.
New Kazakh supply into China could add to sunflower meal availability over time, but near-term effects on prices are limited since the export start is still a future plan.
