# W46: Weekly Sunflower Update

> Ukraine harvested about 9.8 million tonnes of sunflower seed by week 46, covering 96% of a 4.5 million hectare oilseed area. Kyiv region finished harvesting all crops. Sunflower seed exports are expected to fall from 2021/22 but remain well above pre-war averages, while exports of processed products have fallen sharply due to logistics problems.
