Sunflower Seed Prices to Remain Stable with Record Production Expected in 2022

IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Sunflower Seed - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.

This year, sunflower seed prices are forecast to remain stable due to record global production, which is to reach the highest level of 57.3M tons.

Sunflower seed prices are projected to remain stable due to a significant increase in global production this year. The average sunflower seed price in the U.S. is estimated at $32 per cwt ($630 per ton) in February 2022 (IndexBox estimates based on USDA data).

This year, global sunflower seed output is to rise by 20% y/y to 57.3M tons, the highest level ever. Favourable weather should further stimulate production growth in Ukraine and Russia. Last year, Ukraine's harvests reached a record 23.2M tons, a 19%-increase compared to 2020. Production in Russia grew by 17% y/y, amounting to 15.5M tons in 2021. Higher outputs are expected in South America, where harvesting season begins. Steadily growing U.S. demand for trans-fat free high- and mid-oleic oils could stimulate farmers to expand sunflower seed acres.

Global sunflower seed exports are to rise by 4% y/y to 7.3M tons in 2022. The world's ending stocks will expand by 12% y/y to 2.4M tons.
