# Kazakhstan increases sunflower husk exports amid strong demand from Europe

> Kazakhstan exported 63,200 tonnes of sunflower husk pellets in January–September 2026, 3.56 times the volume in the same period last year, with export revenue rising to $3.4 million. Poland was the leading buyer, and Kazakh producers have combined pellet output of about 10,000 tonnes per month; the pellets are used as fuel at European power plants.

## Why it matters

Higher exports meet European demand for an alternative power-plant fuel and create an additional outlet and revenue stream for Kazakhstan's oilseed processors. This concerns a sunflower-processing by-product rather than a listed feed commodity, so direct feed-price implications are limited.
