Global Sunflower Oil Production

Sunflower oil remains a significant player in the global vegetable oils market due to its diverse applications in food, cosmetics, and biodiesel. A closer look at global production statistics reveals that sunflower oil production is geographically concentrated, with few countries contributing to the lion's share of the overall output.

Key Insights:

With a production volume of 4.4 million tons, Ukraine is the world's leading sunflower oil producer, followed closely by Russia at 4.1 million tons. Together, these two countries account for a vast proportion of the global sunflower oil output.
While major European nations such as France, Spain, and Hungary contribute significantly to the production numbers, unexpected players like Argentina and Turkey, with contributions of 931.7K and 721.9K tons, respectively, are also on the list.
The United States ranks 17th globally in sunflower oil production, contributing around 147.0K tons. Though this number may seem negligible compared to the top producers, the U.S. has vast sunflower-growing land, resulting in substantial oil production.
A vast majority of the top 20 sunflower oil-producing countries are from Europe and Asia, indicating a geographic concentration of production.
It is important to note that despite the significant influence of a few nations, sunflower oil production is a global industry, with participation from diverse countries, including the Netherlands, South Africa, Kazakhstan, and even Tanzania.
