Oilseeds

Sunflower Seed

The main raw material of Türkiye's vegetable oil production, valued on oil content.

About the product

Sunflower seed is the source of most vegetable oil consumed in Türkiye. The single heading that determines the seed's value is oil content; every percentage point is direct yield for the crushing plant.

Alongside oil content, moisture and foreign matter also affect the price; high moisture is both a storage risk and a loss of yield in crushing. We work with batches that have been analysed for oil content.

Areas of use

Vegetable oil crushing plants, refineries, feed industry (together with its meal).
