USDA's May report puts Ukrainian sunflower oil production at 5.63 million tonnes for 2017-18, with sunflower seed output of 13.5 million tonnes and oil exports forecast at 5 million tonnes. For 2016-17, USDA sees 5.76 million tonnes of production and 5.1 million tonnes of exports.
A large Ukrainian crop and strong export pace keep sunflower oil supply ample, which weighs on vegetable oil prices and limits support for sunflower meal.
