  • Is monounsaturated sunflower a good crop in Australia?

  • The Australian sunflower industry is reliant on imports as well as domestic crop production. Although small in comparison to global oilseed production, the industry has an overcapacity when it comes to oilseed crushing and refining.

  • The Asia and Australasian regions would be supply deficient for the foreseeable future and would be reliant on imports of sunflower seed and oil, mainly from South America. Sunflower is an important oilseed crop in the Asian and Australasian region.
  • What challenges does the sunflower industry face in Australia?
  • In Australia, the local sunflower industry faces a number of challenges including supply deficit, distance of production areas from processors, and price competition for both oil and meal relative to other oilseed crops. The variable and at times harsh conditions in the country can make growing sunflower a risky and challenging business.
