Sunflower oil shipments through the Romanian port of Constanța have risen sharply at the start of the 2026/27 season. Ukrainian oil is expected to make up most of November's planned deliveries, and Romania is importing more of it for refining.
Strong Turkish demand for seed and oil is also supporting regional trade and seed purchase prices.
Re-routing Ukrainian oil through Romania strengthens EU supply for sunflower-based products while Turkish demand tightens regional seed availability. Together these factors support sunflower prices in the Black Sea and EU markets.
