SOFIA. More and more suppliers are withdrawing from the sunflower seed market for the time being. Market players hope for a few quiet weeks during the holidays.

The decline in production was compensated for by higher imports from the main growing countries Russia and Ukraine, but this could soon be over. A direct export ban is not expected for the time being, but local industry associations are suggesting a strict regulation of exports with the help of higher export duties.
