Lipsa's September 2024 report says the US weather has been favourable for soybeans while adverse conditions persist for Canadian canola and Black Sea sunflower. Heat and drought in Russia, Ukraine and Eastern Europe have caused irreversible sunflower damage, with at least 3.6 MnT lost in the last two months.
It also notes Indonesia's planned 40% palm biodiesel blend, which would add 3-4 MnT of domestic demand.
Sunflower seed losses in the Black Sea tighten global vegetable oil supply and support sunflower meal and palm oil prices. The Indonesian biodiesel mandate would absorb more palm oil, supporting prices.
