In the season of 2021/22, growth in global sunflower oil consumption to a record level is expected (USDA, October 2021) by +9% from MY 2020/21.
The sunflower oil import pattern remains stable, with India’s and the EU’s shares staying at last season’s levels and China enhancing its position at the expense of other countries.
