The export of sunflower seeds is an important component of the Ukrainian agrarian economy. Ukrainian farmers and enterprises are actively engaged in the cultivation and processing of seeds, ensuring the high quality and competitiveness of the product.
The global demand for sunflower seeds is still growing due to their wide range of applications in the food, oil and fat and pharmaceutical industries. Ukraine embodies its potential in the export of seeds, strengthening its presence in the world market and contributing to the development of its economy.
Stability and growth in the export of sunflower seeds confirm the role of Ukraine in the global agricultural sector and continue to open up new opportunities for development and cooperation in this area.
