# Sunflower seeds: Will the harvest be completed?

> The European Commission's 30 October 2026 crop estimate was largely unchanged from September, with France's sunflower crop cut 7.2% to 1.216 million tonnes and Croatia's raised 11.5% to 243,000 tonnes. The EU total was slightly revised down, and experts say not all Ukrainian fields may be harvested.

## Why it matters

A slightly lower EU sunflower crop and possible unharvested Ukrainian area reduce seed availability for crushers, supporting sunflower meal and oil prices. The effect is modest given the largely unchanged EU estimate.
