In Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, Decorticated Sunflower Flour prices moved only near 0.5% in Q3 2026, moving from just under USD 418/MT in Q2 to just above USD 416/MT in Q3, and it was steady sunflower seed prices and balanced orders from feed and food buyers that most plausibly shaped the move. Across the tracked regions, the global average moved from roughly USD 344/MT in Q2 to close to USD 342/MT in Q3, a change of about 0.6%. For Q4 2026, a global average of near USD 325 to 359/MT is expected, with seed prices, crushing margins, and plant protein demand guiding the range.
Decorticated sunflower flour is a fine powder milled from the meal left after sunflower seeds are dehulled and pressed for oil, and it contains about thirty five to forty five percent protein with low fibre. It is used in animal feed, bakery products, plant protein foods, and nutrition products as a protein and fibre ingredient, with feed and bakery use taking the largest share of demand. Sunflower seed and oil prices, crushing margins, plant protein demand, and freight rates all feed into the price.
The balance of supply and demand for decorticated sunflower flour through the end of 2026 leans stable. Seed prices moved in a narrow band through the third quarter, and crushers had enough dehulled meal to meet orders. Interest in plant protein ingredients continues to grow, which limits the downside.
The main upside risk is a rise in sunflower seed prices after a weaker Black Sea harvest that lifts prices above the forecast range. The main downside risk is a large crop and weaker demand from feed buyers, which would pull prices below the forecast.
