The Potoki oil-extraction plant in Dnipro, Ukraine, suspended purchases and processing of sunflower seeds from November 13 due to power outages, security concerns and equipment repairs needed after earlier shelling. Management said the pause prioritizes employee safety, and the company will announce when production and procurement resume.
A halt at a Ukrainian crusher removes local demand for sunflower seed and reduces sunflower meal output, tightening Ukrainian supply and supporting sunflower meal prices. Similar shutdowns at other plants such as Kernel add to the pressure.
