Moldova exported 134,100 tonnes of sunflower seed from July to October 2026, down 24% year on year, while export value declined about 20% to 1.528 billion lei. The average export price rose 4.7%, but transport costs doubled and low Danube water levels made logistics difficult.
Lower export volumes limit nearby sunflower-seed availability, while higher freight costs erode exporter returns and can weigh on the prices producers receive. The low Danube adds logistical friction to regional oilseed flows.
