In 2023, Hungary and Bulgaria led European production of oil-cake and other solid residues from sunflower seed extraction, nearing one million million kilograms each. France and Romania also had substantial shares, although France saw a 5.75% decline. Portugal, Greece, Germany, and others had smaller outputs, with Germany experiencing the sharpest downturn at 8.33%. Notably, Hungary and Bulgaria continued to grow by over 5% from previous years, while Spain's production contracted significantly by 12.55%. Across the last five years, the overall growth trend has been relatively stable, showcasing diverse regional performance.
Looking ahead, climate changes affecting sunflower yield, technological advancements in extraction processes, and market demand shifts for environmentally friendly residue utilization will be pivotal. Monitoring geopolitical factors that could affect agricultural trade flows will also be essential for anticipating future production changes in this sector.
