Earlier Report Observations

The sunflower-seed oilcake market in the Americas displayed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2023. Market size began at 1 369 thousand tons in 2018, fell sharply to 955 thousand tons in 2019, then rebounded to a peak of 1 747 thousand tons in 2021. After a contraction to 1 490 thousand tons in 2022, the market saw a modest recovery to 1 551 thousand tons in 2023.

Production followed a comparable trajectory, declining to 1 449 thousand tons in 2020 before a sustained expansion to 2 279 thousand tons by 2023. This growth in output coincided with fluctuating trade patterns, including a notable surge in exports during 2019 and 2023.

In 2024, the market landscape was influenced by several key developments. Argentine exports of sunflower oil and by-products reached an 18-year high, driven by global supply constraints and elevated international prices. Concurrently, policy factors such as export duties in Argentina and government initiatives in Mexico to support domestic sunflower cultivation aimed to alter production dynamics and reduce import reliance.
