Production of sunflower oil (unrefined) in Kazakhstan for the first 7 months of 2025 amounted to 365.4 thousand tons, which is 24.9% more than in the same period of 2024, the National Statistics Bureau of the Republic reported.

In 2025, their area increased by 36% (+1.055 million hectares). The largest increase was observed for sunflower – +481 thousand hectares (a record sown area in history), flax – +376 thousand hectares and rapeseed – +173 thousand hectares.
