# Ukraine may supply 1 mln tons of sunflower meal to China — Latifundist.com

> Ukraine's Sinofarm Ukraine says Ukraine could supply up to 1 million tons of GMO-free sunflower meal to China in the new season. Chinese buyers are seeking alternatives to US soy protein amid the trade war, and China may cut soybean imports by 10 million tons as it shifts to low-protein meals.
