Russia's 2019/20 oilseed season shows large planted-area increases for sunflower seed and soybeans, with USDA October forecasts putting global sunflower seed output above 51 million tonnes. Russia's 2018 oilseed harvest reached a record 18.8 million tonnes.
Expanding Russian oilseed output and growing crush capacity add supply to global sunflower meal and oil markets, a bearish influence on prices.
