EU steadily increases sunseed processing in the second half of the season
According to Oil World estimates, in the second half of the MY 2025/26, sunflower seed processing volumes in EU countries, especially in Bulgaria, increased significantly due to increased imports of raw materials from Argentina.
In the first five months of the season (August to December), EU countries processed a total of 3.4 million tons of sunseed compared to 3.6 million tons in the same period of the previous season.
However, experts believe that by the end of the 2025/26 season, the volume of sunflower seeds processing in the EU will grow to 7.7 million tons, and will amount to 1.3 million tons in Bulgaria, 1.1 million tons in France, 1.6 million tons in Hungary, and 1 million tons in Spain.
At the same time, sunflower seed imports to the EU in the MY 2025/26 will almost double compared to the previous season and will reach 1.2 million tons, of which 0.55 million tons will be supplied from Argentina.
