According to the experts of the leading agricultural company of the sunflower seed market, the rate of high-oil sunflower will increase this year due to the more favorable purchase price.

According to the European Commission, last year, 10.1 million tonnes of sunflower were produced in the 28 Member States, which is an increase of 12 percent, over the five-year average. Romania is the number one producer of sunflower seeds in the European Union. Its sunflower production area has grown from the 998,000 hectares of 2017 to 1.1 million hectares last year.
