The EU sunflower seed harvest for 2026 is forecast to rise notably, led by Romania (up about 39% to 2.50 million tonnes) and Bulgaria (up about 45% to 2.27 million tonnes). Hungary and France are expected to decline, with Hungary at 1.50 million tonnes and France at 1.22 million tonnes, and Germany's output is rising on record area above 100,000 hectares.
A larger EU sunflower seed crop adds supply for sunflower meal and oil processors, which could weigh on sunflower meal prices and ease competition for other protein meals in Europe.
