ABSTRACT

In this paper we provide an overview of key studies and analyze secondary
data concerning economic aspects of production and distribution of sunflower
seed oil in Poland and Ukraine.


In recent years, Ukraine and the EU-28 have taken leading positions in the
global production and export of sunflower seed oil in terms of volume. While
Poland has one of the largest arable land areas in Europe, its sunflower seed
and oil production did not increased as quickly as Ukraine’s. In spite
of improvements in average sunflower seed yields, Poland has increased its volume
of sunflower oil imports since 1992.


We document that the average price of exported sunflower oil
was lower in Ukraine than in Poland since 1992 and Ukraine had a positive trade
balance in sunflower oil, while Poland had a sunflower oil trade deficit during
the 1992–2010
period.

Key words: sunflower oil, price, import, export, trade balance, Poland, Ukraine.
