  • What products are made from sunflower seeds?
  • Sunflowers are used to make oil, meal and confectionary products. Oil and meal are processed from the same sunflower seed varieties. The seed variety used foe confectionary products has a lower percentage of oil.
  • How is sunflower oil made?
  • Sunflower oils are cold-pressed. This method, which entails minimal processing, produces a light, flavourful oil suitable for some cooking needs. Sunflower oil manufacture involves cleaning the seeds, grinding them, pressing and extracting the crude oil from them, and further refining.
  • Which country exports the most sunflower oil?
  • Ukraine is the world’s leader of sunflower oil exports (almost 40%), owing to competitive pricing and the devaluation of the national currency against the United States dollar. Argentina exports 34% and the Russian Federation 17%.
  • How many tons of sunflower seed oil are there in the world?
  • The world supply of sunflower seed oil for 2008/2009 is estimated at 11.7 million tons (+18% compared with the previous marketing year). The 2008/2009 crop translates into record sunflower seed oil production (in contrast with a decline in soybean oil production).
  • What are the different types of sunflower oil?
  • There are several types of sunflower oils produced, such as high linoleic, high oleic and mid oleic. High linoleic sunflower oil typically has at least 69% linoleic acid. High oleic sunflower oil has at least 82% oleic acid. The variation in the unsaturated fatty acids profile is strongly influenced by both genetics and climate.
  • How much oil is produced from sunflower seeds?
  • For every 100 kg of seed, about 40 kg of oil, 35 kg of high-protein meal and 20-25 kg of by-products are produced. More than 90% of the sunflower seeds produced are processed into edible oil.
