Sunflower Oil Surges as World Market Competitor to Soybeans
A U.S. Agriculture Department study shows sunflower oil, led by Soviet production, rising to challenge soybean oil in world markets. Sunflower production and exports have grown, with the Soviet Union accounting for around 65 percent of world sunflower oil output and about 70 percent of trade in 1966. During 1962 to 1967 shipments to Western Europe increased sharply, illustrating the oil’s expanding role and price competitiveness.
