Sunflower in the global vegetable oil system: situation,

  • How is sunflower seed processed for oil production?
  • Figure 1 shows a flowchart of sunflower seed processing for oil production that results in sunflower seed byproducts (whole and defatted sunflower meals) (Figure 2). The process starts with the crushing of the seed, where the whole sunflower meal is generated.
  • How much sunflower is produced in Argentina?
  • Argentina’s total sunflower production in grain, meal, and oil has been around 10% of global sunflower production for the business years 2010 to 2013. In spite of a strong domestic consumption (12.3 liters/inhabitant), global trade fluctuates around 14% in meal, 16.2% in oil, and a low 4.4% in untransformed sunflower seed ( USDA, 2013 ).
  • Is sunflower a export oriented business in Argentina?
  • In Argentina, sunflower is an export-oriented business; sunflower products are primarily shipped as oil and flour, and to a lesser extent seed is also exported. Given that 60% of the oil produced is exported in a normal season and that flour has a low relative value, over 80% of sunflower value is explained by the international value of its oil.
  • How does sunflower seed processing work?
  • The process starts with the crushing of the seed, where the whole sunflower meal is generated. The sunflower seed crushing procedure manages to transform 25% to 33% of the initial weight of the seed into oil (Kartika et al., 2010), depending on the procedure used.
