The EU-27 imported 259,235 tonnes of sunflower seed in the first four months of the 2026/27 marketing year, up 63% year over year. Argentina supplied 101,144 tonnes, or 39% of imports, becoming the bloc’s leading supplier; its share was 1.4% in the same period a year earlier.
The sharp increase in Argentine shipments gives EU buyers another significant source as Ukrainian export constraints alter regional supply flows. Stronger EU import demand may support Argentine sunflower seed export values and prices.
