Sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds through crushing and pressing, and the by-product, sunflower meal, is used as a high-protein animal feed. This dual-purpose value chain enhances the economic benefits for producers. In South Africa, a network of processors and oil crushers ensures steady demand for sunflower seeds, with major buyers including edible oil manufacturers, food companies
The future of sunflower production in South Africa Over the past two decades, the South African sunflower industry has been characterised by volatile production levels with virtually no real growth while demand for oilcake and vegetable oil has increased by approximately 40%. The imports of seed, oil and cake have gradually been increasing to meet the rising demand levels.
Report Name: Oilseeds and Products Annual
Report Highlights: FAS/Pretoria’s Oilseeds and Products annual report provides information on the production, supply, and distribution for soybean, sunflowerseed, and rapeseed in South Africa for marketing year (MY) 2023/24, MY 2024/25, and MY 2025/26. Stable local demand for oilseed crushing and anticipated export opportunities should motivate producers to maintain level oilseed area in MY
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.
Global Sunflower Oil Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions
Chapter 3, the Sunflower Oil competitive situation, sales quantity, revenue, and global market share of top manufacturers are analyzed emphatically by landscape contrast. Chapter 4, the Sunflower Oil breakdown data are shown at the regional level, to show the sales quantity, consumption value, and growth by regions, from 2020 to 2031.
During years of lower sunflower production, the activities at crushing plants are reduced and the refineries import more crude oil, as it is more cost-effective than importing sunflower seeds. Local sunflower seed prices have been trading at export parity levels from the beginning of 2020 (Graph 2), putting downward pressure on the area planted.
