Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the market volume for sunflower-seed oilcake in Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced notable shifts. Growth in sunflower cultivation areas, encouraged by guaranteed purchase agreements from processors such as Bimal, supported higher production and helped lift the market to 29 057 t in 2019. The following year saw a contraction to 21 797 t, before a further slight decline to 20 819 t in 2021, a period marked by rising purchase prices for sunflower oil and increased price monitoring by federal authorities.

From 2022 onward, external shocks reshaped the market. The Russia‑Ukraine conflict disrupted global sunflower supply chains, while a severe domestic drought cut local sunflower yields by an estimated 50%. These constraints on raw material availability coincided with a surge in oilcake exports, reducing the domestic market volume to 17 613 t in 2022. Recovery began in 2023, fueled by rising imports as Ukraine remained a key supplier to the region, and the market reached 34 003 t in 2024.
