Turkiye: Oilseeds and Products Update

Sunflowerseed production in marketing year (MY) 2024/25 is forecast to drop to its lowest level in almost a decade due to extremely dry weather conditions in the northeast part of the country, where more than half of the production is concentrated. To offset this expected decline, imports of sunflower seed, oil, and meal are all forecast higher. From January-April 2025, a lower-duty quota for sunflowerseed and crude sunflowerseed oil will come into effect to facilitate the country’s import requirements needed to avoid a potential shortfall in cooking oil and meal.
