In 2023, the United States exported approximately 51,000 metric tons of sunflower products. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 demonstrate a slight increase and stabilization, with the export value projected to rise to 52,000 metric tons in 2024 and remain at 53,000 metric tons from 2025 onwards. This trend shows minimal growth, with a negligible compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 5-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Global demand dynamics, particularly in emerging markets, impacting U.S. sunflower export volumes.
Alterations in trade policies and international relations that could influence export potential.
Technological advancements improving yield efficiency and quality, thus affecting competitiveness.
Environmental and climate change factors, potentially altering production capacity and seasonal outputs.
