Ukrainian sunflower oil exports in July exceeded 500,000 metric tons, significantly surpassing previous expectations, which were based on assumptions of a substantial reduction in sunflower stocks in Ukraine.

Share UA Potential reported this, citing preliminary data from customs statistics.

The export of sunflower oil in July surpassed the figures of the previous two months – in June, Ukraine exported 476,000 tons, and in May – 453,000 tons.

Romania (accounting for about a quarter of the total volume) and India were the largest importers of Ukrainian sunflower oil in the reporting month.

Since the beginning of the 2022/23 season, Ukrainian sunflower oil exports have reached nearly 5.2 million tons (compared to 4.1 million tons in the same period of the previous season).
