Moldova's Ministry of Agriculture reported that farmers harvested over 442,000 hectares of sunflower this year, above the ten-year average. Oversupply has pushed prices down, and a farmer in Soroca district says his seed price fell to just over 8 lei per kilogram from nearly 11 lei last year.
Farmers are weighing selling now to cover loan and fuel costs against storing for a better price later.
A large domestic crop lowers sunflower seed prices and adds pressure to sunflower meal supply, which feeds into the cost of protein for livestock buyers. Storage decisions by farmers will determine how quickly that supply reaches the market.
