  • What is Ho sunflower seed?
  • “The HO cultivar is considered rich in high-oleic acid oils [omega-9 oils] and contains far lower levels of saturated fats and omega-6 polyunsaturates than traditional sunflower seed.” Hugo planted the first trials on his farm, Vergezocht, in 2005, and immediately began experimenting with pressing the seeds.
  • How much oil does a seed press produce?
  • Oil yield is influenced both by growing conditions, such as drought, and the temperature during pressing. Homsek says the ideal is 23°C, and the press is therefore operated for 24 hours a day during the production season to prevent it from cooling. A good return is about 28%, or 280kg of oil per ton of seed.
  • How does Senwes buy sunflower seeds?
  • Senwes buys the oilseed from the grower as per any normal sunflower transaction. “As we get orders, we buy the seed back from Senwes at the Safex price,” explains Homsek. He adds that drought and high Safex prices have placed pressure on the business, and they are investigating ways to hedge against price risks in future.
  • What is a high oleic sunflower?
  • According to the factory manager at VPO, Franz Homsek, Hugo had heard about a high-oleic (HO) sunflower cultivar that was different to traditional cultivars due to the dietary fat composition of the oil that could be pressed from its seed.
