The US sunflower production forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 1.05 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.01 million metric tons in 2028. In 2023, production was estimated at approximately 1.06 million metric tons. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 0.95% to 1.0%. Over the past five years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent decrease in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on crop yields, shifts in domestic and global demand, and potential changes in agricultural policy that could influence production dynamics. Additionally, advancements in agricultural technology could play a role in reversing the downward trend.
