# Ukraine’s sunflower acreage in 2021 very likely to hit a record high

> UkrAgroConsult analysts expect Ukraine's 2021 sunflower acreage to reach a record high, driven by peak seed and oil prices. Yield is expected to recover after a poor 2020 crop, and the 2021 sunseed crop is forecast above 2020.

## Why it matters

Expanded sunflower planting points to larger future supply of seed, oil and meal from the Black Sea, which would ease tightness in vegoils and sunflower meal over time.
