Sunflower seeds are the seeds obtained from the sunflower plant. The seeds are highly associated with the food, oil, cosmetics, and beverages industries. The seeds are processed to obtain one of the healthiest oil varieties, i.e., the sunflower oil, which is further used to produce various food products.

Sunflower oil is used for cooking, frying, baking, and more such culinary operations. It is a nourishing oil obtained from sunflower seeds and is further used in the preparation and formulation of skincare, haircare, and body care products. Sunflower seeds also contain a rich organic acid derived from the Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil. The acid serves as an ingredient in bath soaps, makeup products, hair conditioners, shampoos, moisturizers, and more.

The market for sunflower seeds is majorly driven by its demand observed as an organic ingredient in oil, food, and cosmetics industries. The seeds largely used to press and produce sunflower oil have high demands for their nourishing and nutrient-rich composition. Sunflower oil is one of the healthiest oil varieties used for cooking and can also be used in formulations of cosmetics.

Its applications in the production of snacks, including chips, biscuits, cookies, cakes, etc., drive its demand in the food industry. Moreover, its usage in the preparation of skincare, body care, and makeup products fuels its demand in the cosmetics industry. Industrial sunflower seed procurement is deeply impacted by the changes in demand. Therefore, variations in its demand as an organic raw material for its oil production (applicable for food and cosmetics varieties), along with the regional availability of the seeds (covering countries like Russia, etc.), and supply, etc., largely influence its procurement around the world.
