In 2023, Bulgaria led European exports of oil-cake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of sunflower seed fats or oils, representing a substantial share alongside Hungary and the Netherlands. Notably, Denmark and Latvia experienced significant growth in export share, while France, Italy, and Germany saw notable reductions. Some smaller markets such as Estonia showed remarkable increases, albeit from lower base values, highlighting volatility in smaller volume markets.
Looking ahead, watch for potential impacts from geopolitical shifts affecting trade patterns. Additionally, increasing regulatory focus on sustainable agricultural practices may influence production and export dynamics. Technological innovations in agriculture and trade, alongside economic recovery from recent global disruptions, could also alter competitive positioning within Europe’s sunflower oil-cake market.
