During the third quarter of 2025, the crude sunflower oil prices in the USA reached 1286 USD/MT in September. The tightening supply brought on by unfavorable weather conditions that impacted domestic sunflower fields was the primary factor behind the price hike. Prices were also driven up by the rising demand for sunflower oil in biofuels and food processing. Higher fuel prices were passed on to customers, which had an effect on the pricing structure as well. The price of crude sunflower oil rose as a result of these factors as well as the US dollar's strength relative to other major currencies.
During the third quarter of 2025, the crude sunflower oil prices in China reached 1056 USD/MT in September. The growing domestic market demand for sunflower oil had an impact on prices. Both customer preferences for healthier cooking oils and rising usage in the food manufacturing industry drove this need. A dependence on imports resulted from limited domestic output in spite of high demand. Price rises were also influenced by changes in the price of imported crude sunflower oil due to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan.
During the third quarter of 2025, the crude sunflower oil prices in Japan reached 1425 USD/MT in September. The price increase was attributed to higher import costs due to a stronger yen against the US dollar. Japan, being heavily reliant on imports for its sunflower supplies, experienced price hikes as global sunflower production faced logistical challenges. Additionally, the demand for premium food ingredients such as sunflower oil, which is favored for its health benefits, continued to rise. These combined factors led to a moderate increase in crude sunflower oil prices in Japan during this period.
During the third quarter of 2025, the crude sunflower oil prices in France reached 1516 USD/MT in September. The price increase was driven by a robust demand for sunflower oil in the European Union, where consumption is rising due to its perceived health benefits. France also faced challenges in local crop production, which led to a greater reliance on imports, particularly from Eastern European countries. Furthermore, the French agricultural market experienced inflationary pressures on labor and transportation costs, which were reflected in higher overall crude sunflower oil prices.
During the third quarter of 2025, the crude sunflower oil prices in India reached 1290 USD/MT in September.
