In Ukraine, 338,530 tons of refined sunflower oil were produced in the first half of the year. Such data were announced by the State Statistics Service in Ukraine.
From January to June of this year, sunflower oil was produced in an amount that is much less than in the same reporting period last year, namely by 31.2%.
If we take into account June 21, 55,090 tons of refined sunflower oil were obtained. This figure is 31.9% lower than in 2020.
Due to the decline in production, oil stocks have decreased significantly. According to the State Statistics Service, at the end of the fifth month of 2021 there were 24 and a half thousand tons, and at the end of the sixth month of this year – only 21,020 tons.
In the period September 2020 – May 2021, Ukrainian producers produced 588,600 tons of refined sunflower oil. Dnipropetrovsk Oil Extraction Plant is the leader in production for this period. This company is part of Bunge Ukraine and has a market share of 19.6%.
