# The port of Constanta expands sunflower oil shipments: new opportunities for regional processing

> Sunflower oil shipments through Romania’s Port of Constanta have increased early in the 2026/27 season, with more Romanian-origin product and Ukrainian oil transiting through the port. Ukrainian oil is expected to make up most planned November volumes, while Romania is also importing oil for refining and onward sales; Turkish demand is supporting regional trade and Romanian seed prices.

## Why it matters

Higher Ukrainian transit volumes and Romanian processing expand regional export channels, while Turkish demand supports sunflower seed and oil demand. Drought-related lower oil content in seeds may increase crushers’ raw-material needs and support seed prices.
