Ukraine to halve export of sunflower seeds
The UkrAgroConsult analytical center has estimated the export of sunflower seeds in the 2009/2010 season at 330,000 tons, which is nearly two times less than last season.
However, in September-October 2009 Ukraine exported nearly 2.5 times more sunflower seeds than during the same period last year (987 tons in the 2008/2009 season).
If such an export dynamics continues in the future, the center's experts do not rule out that export estimates will be reviewed.
The main customers of Ukrainian sunflower seeds are the Netherlands (15,300 tons), Germany (4,600 tons), and Georgia (1,800 tons).
