Episode Summary: Global Sunflower Market Update – June 22, 2025
- This week’s episode delivers a focused analysis of Romania's sunflower market, underscoring both recovery and emerging challenges. Following a poor 2024 harvest, favorable rainfall and improved weather conditions in 2025 have significantly boosted crop prospects. Yields are forecast to rise 7 percent above the five-year average, with total production expected to increase by as much as 50 percent year over year.
- Despite last year's production setbacks, Romania exceeded sunflower export expectations, driven by high international prices and strong demand from Turkey. However, the domestic processing sector remains under pressure. Romanian processors are increasingly importing Ukrainian crude sunflower oil due to high local raw material costs, which has negatively affected local profitability.
- Looking ahead, while oilseed output is set to rise, the processing segment could face continued strain from narrow profit margins and intense global price competition. These pressures may influence Romania’s strategic position in the international sunflower oil market over the long term.
