Constanta is handling increased sunflower oil shipments, with higher Romanian exports and more Ukrainian oil transiting for refining.

Stronger export flows and Turkish demand tighten regional sunflower oil availability and support seed demand and prices. Increased Ukrainian transit also shifts Black Sea logistics toward Constanta and supports Romanian processors’ margins.
