  • In MY 2020/21, the oilseed segment of the Russian agricultural sector will see continued growth in production of sunflower seeds, in particular, as well as soybeans. This tracks with upward production trends in MY19/20.
  • Why did Russia stop exporting soybeans and sunflower seeds?
  • However, the desire to secure domestic oilseeds supplies did influence policymakers in Russia and the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) who imposed a temporary suspension of certain oilseeds exports, including soybeans and sunflower seeds, from April 12 to June 30, 2020. As a result, FAS Moscow has reduced MY19/20 exports of those commodities.
