Global sunflower oil market
Russia and Ukraine are the largest producers and exporters of sunflower oil. According to USDA (October 2026), in 2025/26 Russia produced 6.90 million tonnes and Ukraine 4.52 million tonnes, out of world production of 21.11 million tonnes. In exports, Russia (4.20 million tonnes) overtook Ukraine (4.04 million tonnes) for the first time in 20 seasons; each accounts for about 30% of world exports.
Argentina and European countries are additional origins that help diversify supply. For buyers of bulk sunflower oil, origin affects price, logistics and availability of the required oil type.
How a deal works
Delivery terms: an Incoterms 2020 primer
The delivery basis sets the point where risk passes from seller to buyer and who pays for main carriage and insurance. These are the rules most often discussed in commodity contracts:
- FCA (Free Carrier) — risk passes when the goods are handed to the carrier at the agreed place; the buyer pays for main carriage. Suitable for any mode of transport.
- FOB (Free On Board) — risk passes once the goods are on board the vessel at the port of shipment; the buyer pays freight and insurance.
- CFR (Cost and Freight) — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes on loading at the port of shipment.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) — as CFR, plus the seller arranges minimum marine cargo insurance.
- DAP (Delivered at Place) — the seller bears risk and cost up to the named destination and delivers the goods ready for unloading; the buyer handles import clearance.
FOB and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only, CFR to sea freight. The delivery basis for each deal is agreed in the contract.
Storage and transport
Under GOST 1129-2013, packed oil is stored in covered, darkened premises and bulk oil in clean, closed tanks without contact with air or moisture: light, heat and oxygen accelerate oxidation. Bulk oil moves in clean tanks and flexitanks, packed oil in bottles and jerrycans. Containers and tanks must not transfer foreign odours to the oil.
Frequently asked questions
Where do you source sunflower oil from?
From Ukraine, Russia, Argentina, the Netherlands and France.
What packaging do you offer, and how is volume agreed?
Packaging and lot size are agreed to suit your request.
How does refined oil differ from unrefined?
Refined oil is fully purified and deodorised: neutral taste and odour and higher stability. Unrefined oil keeps the flavour of the seed; for cold-pressed oil Codex allows an acid value of up to 4.0 mg KOH/g versus 0.6 for refined.
What is the difference between sunflower cake and meal?
Cake is what remains after pressing and retains more oil. Meal is produced after solvent extraction of the residual oil and contains less fat and more protein. Both are used in the feed industry.
What is the difference between FOB and CFR?
Under FOB the buyer pays freight and insurance; under CFR the seller pays freight to the port of destination. In both cases risk passes to the buyer once the goods are loaded on board at the port of shipment.
