Ukraine is expected to export large amounts of sunflower oil this season, the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) said in its latest oil Crops Outlook.
In last week's WASDE report, the USDA raised its estimate for Ukraine's sunflower seed harvest in 2013/14 by 1 million tonne to 12.5 mln, thanks to a record harvested area of 6 mln acres and yield improvements of 15%.
