Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange's sunflower seed oil futures and options launch on November 12, with the SO2711 contract covering the new harvest. Global sunflower oil output is forecast at a record 23.75 million tons for 2026/27 per the November USDA report, while Chinese port stocks are low and Black Sea export tax and logistics remain key variables.
New harvest supply and a record global crop point to softer deferred prices, while low Chinese port stocks and Black Sea disruption support near-term prices. Cross-oil substitution with soybean, palm and rapeseed oil will shape vegetable oil demand and price direction.
