Turkey’s state grain board announced a tender for 18,000 tonnes of crude sunflower oil, with price offers due on Nov 2 and delivery scheduled from Nov 11 to Dec 11. The sizable purchase signals heightened demand, likely supporting market prices.
EU oilseed production falls 1% amid heat and drought, prompting a 7% increase in imports for 2026/27. Lower domestic harvests of rapeseed and sunflower tighten supply, while higher crushing volumes support processing demand, likely pushing oilseed prices upward.

In Europe, the average price of Crude Sunflower Oil declined from approximately EUR 1,313.00/MT (EXW) in July to about EUR 1,253.00/MT in August, a fall of ~4.6%. Prices were high in July and early August, as attacks on Black Sea and Azov Sea ports halted a large share of Ukrainian and Russian shipments, and Russia sharply raised its export duty. This support faded during August. Ukrainian seed prices fell steadily, as crushers expected a large new harvest of about 13.4 million tonnes and had limited ability to export oil, which lowered costs for crude oil producers. Demand also weakened. India, the largest importer, saw its August sunflower oil imports drop by around 28% from July, as delayed cargoes pushed buyers to switch to soybean oil. European buyers, who source mainly from the Black Sea, followed the softer global trend as international prices dipped on weak demand and expectations of ample supply. Prices stayed soft into late September.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, crude sunflower oil prices are likely to stay under pressure as harvest supplies arrive, though any further disruption to Black Sea shipping could provide short-term support.

In the global markets, the crude sunflower oil price trend witnessed mixed trend during Q2’26. Crude sunflower oil prices had remained elevated early in the quarter due to tighter supply conditions, but improved sunflower seed production and crushing prospects gradually reduced cost pressure. USDA increased global crush for 2025/26 by 0.5 million MT bringing the new estimate to 49.6 million MT, supporting higher oil availability. Russia contributed to improved supply expectations, with USDA raising its sunflower seed production forecast to 17.5 million MT and crush forecast to a record 16.7 million MT. Argentina also supported global availability with sunflower oil exports projected at 1.8 million MT. India remained a key demand market as the country imports around 60% of its edible oil requirements. However, competition from palm and soybean oil limited stronger buying interest when sunflower oil premiums increased. Meanwhile, Ukraine remained a supply risk due to ongoing export and crushing constraints.
Crude Sunflower Oil is utilised for human nutrition. Crude oil originating from plants plays a crucial and essential role in terms of nutrition, physiology as well as the psychology of humans. Since it is rich in essential fatty acid and vitamins soluble in fats, it is highly beneficial.
