Ukraine has built 10 oilseed processing plants since Russia's full-scale invasion, yet the sector ran at 68% of capacity last year, processing 14 million tonnes of sunflower seeds. Ukroliyaprom's director general said dispatch delays cause sunflower meal to pile up at plants, where prolonged storage risks mold and quality loss.
He proposed mixed rail shipments of oil and meal to ease bottlenecks.
Slow dispatch of sunflower meal constrains available supply from Ukrainian crushers and can keep meal offers tight at origin, supporting sunflower meal prices in the Black Sea region. Better logistics would lift output and reduce spoilage, but the effect on world prices is modest.
