WASHINGTON: Traditionally sunflower seed dominates in the structure of Romanian oilseeds exports. Season 2015/16 began quite actively.

Exports were high owing to record sunseed harvest in those years.
The European Union remains the main buyer of Romanian sunflower seed. Almost 85% of total exports were shipped to EU countries in the current season. Besides, significant volume of sunseed was supplied to Pakistan, Turkey and Republic of South Africa.
