# Sunflower seeds: suppliers look for alternatives - Mundus Agri

> Bulgarian sunflower kernel suppliers are struggling to find raw seed, and the European Commission has cut its production estimates again. Russia raised its export tariff on sunflower seed from 6.5% to 30%, which makes imports harder. Bakery kernels trade at EUR 0.97/kg for February and March delivery.
