> Ukraine exported 25,000 tonnes of sunflower seeds worth $12.5 million from October 1 to 22, 4.2 times September's volume. Sunflower oil exports nearly doubled to 177,600 tonnes, while sunflower meal exports rose 15.1% to 217,700 tonnes; analysts expect sunflower prices to rise toward year-end.

## Why it matters

Higher export flows move more Ukrainian sunflower products onto international markets, increasing near-term availability for buyers. The reported expectation of year-end price increases suggests that supply may tighten later, lending support to sunflower prices and meal and oil values.
