Crude Sunflower Oil Prices Decline as Supply Chain Pressures Ease

31-Oct-2025

The global crude sunflower oil market exhibited firm pricing trends in Q3 2025, supported by persistent supply constraints from major producing regions and sustained consumption across the food and biofuel industries. According to IMARC Group’s latest publication, “Crude Sunflower Oil Prices, Trend, Index and Forecast Data Report 2025 Edition,” which provides updated insights for Q3 2025, the quarter witnessed moderate to strong upward momentum, particularly in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Rising feedstock costs, currency fluctuations, and robust import demand collectively underpinned market performance, with regional variations shaped by domestic production capacities, trade policies, and energy price dynamics.

Q3 2025 Crude Sunflower Oil Prices:

USA: USD 1286/MT
China: USD 1056/MT
Japan: USD 1425/MT
France: USD 1516/MT
India: USD 1290/MT

Current price levels underscore crude sunflower oil’s essential role in the food, biodiesel, and manufacturing sectors. Tightened global supply, combined with weather-induced production challenges and elevated logistics costs, supported price increases across most regions during Q3 2025.

Key Regional Price Trends and Market Drivers:

USA
In Q3 2025, crude sunflower oil prices in the USA reached USD 1286/MT. The rise was primarily driven by supply tightening due to unfavorable weather impacting sunflower crop yields. Strengthened demand from biofuel and food processing industries, coupled with higher transportation and fuel costs, added upward momentum. Additionally, a stronger US dollar against major currencies contributed to import-related pricing adjustments.

China
Crude sunflower oil prices in China averaged USD 1056/MT in September 2025. Rising consumer preference for healthier cooking oils and expanding food manufacturing applications boosted domestic demand. Limited domestic output and dependence on imports kept markets firm. Currency fluctuations between the yuan and the dollar influenced import costs, further contributing to overall price gains.

Japan
In Japan, prices stood at USD 1425/MT during Q3 2025. The increase was largely due to elevated import costs, as the yen’s performance against the dollar impacted procurement expenses. Logistical challenges in global supply routes and continued demand for high-quality, health-oriented food ingredients supported firm pricing levels across domestic markets.

France
Crude sunflower oil prices in France rose to USD 1516/MT in September 2025. Strong EU-wide demand, reduced domestic crop output, and increased reliance on imports from Eastern Europe were key contributors. Inflationary pressures on energy and transport costs also elevated operational expenses, driving a steady rise in local price indices throughout the quarter.

India
In Q3 2025, India recorded crude sunflower oil prices of USD 1290/MT. The upward trajectory was supported by robust consumption in the food processing and edible oil industries. As the world’s largest importer, India remained highly exposed to Black Sea market dynamics. Government trade policies, including extended import duty reductions, aided market accessibility while moderating price escalation amid high global costs.
