The forecast for U.S. sunflower seed meal imports indicates a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 14.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 and 2025, the volume increases to 15.0 thousand metric tons by 2026 and maintains this level through 2028. For contextual reference, the imports in 2023 stood at a similar baseline level, aligning with the initial forecast values. The year-on-year increase from 2025 to 2026 is approximately 7.1%, with no subsequent change until 2028.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from global supply chain adjustments, fluctuations in sunflower seed production, and U.S. policy shifts on agricultural imports or tariffs that might influence future import volumes beyond 2028.
