# Sunflower oil through Constanta: a new growth driver for Romania and Ukrainian exports

> Romanian sunflower oil exports through Constanta reached about 43,000 tonnes in September–October, above the year-earlier level. Ukrainian-origin shipments rose after Ukraine introduced priority treatment for vegetable oil exports in the second half of October, with cumulative sunflower oil shipments through the port expected to approach 98,000 tonnes in early November. Ukrainian imports are also enabling Romanian processors to expand refining and potentially export more refined oil.

## Why it matters

Growing transit flows increase available export capacity for Ukrainian oil and create more processing and export opportunities in Romania. Strong Turkish demand and lower oil content in Romania’s crop are also supporting local processors’ need for seed and may underpin seasonal prices.
