UkrAgroConsult reports Ukraine's sunflower sowing area fell 28% to 4.6 million hectares in 2022 due to war occupation, with production forecast at 7.9-8.8 million tonnes versus 16.5 million in 2021. Record June exports of 540,000 tonnes were recorded, with 1.6 million tonnes shipped so far this season.
A roughly halved Ukrainian sunflower crop removes a major source of meal and oil, tightening global supply and supporting sunflower meal prices.
