Significant activity on the sunflower seed market in Ukraine: what you should know

At the beginning of this year, there was significant activity in the trade of the new sunflower crop on the Ukrainian market. According to the data of the Ministry of Agro-Industrial Complex of Ukraine, the total area of ​​sunflower sowing in the country increased by 15% compared to last year, reaching the mark of 2.5 million hectares. This growth indicates a rapid increase in the interest of agricultural producers in the sunflower crop.

One of the key factors contributing to the increase in planted areas is high prices for sunflower seeds in the world market conditions. According to analysts, prices for sunflower seeds have been rising in recent months, which stimulates Ukrainian farmers to increase the cultivation of this crop.

In addition, the export of sunflower oil from Ukraine remains high, which is also an important incentive for the expansion of cultivated areas. Ukraine is one of the world's leading producers of sunflower oil, and the demand for this product in international markets continues to grow.

It should also be noted that the yield of sunflower in Ukraine remains at a high level thanks to favorable climatic conditions and high technology of agricultural production. According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the average yield of sunflower is about 2.5-3 tons per hectare, which supports a high level of production.

In recent years, Ukraine has significantly strengthened its position on the world sunflower oil market, competing with the countries of South America and Europe. The high quality of Ukrainian products and compliance with international standards make it possible to increase export volumes and attract new investors to the sunflower industry sector.

In general, the sunflower seed market in Ukraine remains dynamically developing and attractive for investors. Further growth of cultivated areas and production is predicted, which will contribute to the country's economic growth and strengthening its position on the world agricultural market.
