Market Overview
Sunflower prices firmed into the second half of the year of 2025. Europe led the way, climbing from a value of USD 1.241/KG spring low to USD 1.492/KG by Q4 as Black Sea-linked supply tightened. The global average rose more gently, from USD 1.223/KG to USD 1.260/KG, with India firming steadily and only North America easing as its own crop came in.
Sunflower, traded here as oil, goes through the process of being pressed and refined from sunflower seed, with the Black Sea region the dominant global source and meal a valuable by-product. Cooking and the food-grade oil is the main use, ahead of the food manufacturing and also a smaller biodiesel share. Prices track the size of the Black Sea harvest, the crush margins, and the wider vegetable-oil complex, where the palm and the soybean oil set the competitive backdrop.
Sunflower Price Forecast for 2026
The market looks firm into the rest of the year of 2026. Tight Black Sea-linked the supply and a firm vegetable-oil complex support prices, with the European and the Indian forecast bands sitting above the current levels, while ample of the North American supply keeps that region softer. A Black Sea harvest setback or the palm-oil rally would lift the sunflower prices. A strong global oilseed crop or the weak food demand would ease it.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1.354 - 1.387 | Firming; Black Sea supply and the vegetable-oil complex lift prices |
| Europe | 1.687 - 1.730 | Highest; tight Black Sea-linked supply drives a strong H2 climb |
| North America | 1.193 - 1.219 | Easing; ample domestic crop pulls prices off the mid-year high |
| India | 1.183 - 1.212 | Rising; firm import demand tracks the global oil complex up |
