# Constanta turns into a sunflower oil hub for Romania and Ukraine

> Constanta is handling increased sunflower oil shipments, with higher Romanian exports and more Ukrainian oil transiting for refining. Strong Turkish demand and lower oil content in Romania’s 2026 sunflower crop are increasing crushers’ seed requirements, while Romanian sunflower seed prices have rebounded from harvest lows.
