market update No. 49-2024 new crop Eastern Europe sunflowers

2024-07-16 | Hot weather in East Europe changes the new crop estimate by 30 % down 

The new crop of sunflowers developed very well in May and June 2024. We saw a lot of rain, and the soil was very wet, but the sunflowers developed a short root of 30 – 40 cm because the water supply was sufficient instead of 100 cm or more.
