  • What is sunflower used for in South Africa?
  • In South Africa sunflower is well adapted in both hot and dry climate. The seed can be consumed after the hull has been removed as a snack or used for production of different oils. Most of the seed produced is marketed locally to expressers, animal feed manufacturers and for seed.
  • How has the South African sunflower industry changed over the past two years?
  • Over the past two decades, the South African sunflower industry has been characterised by volatile production levels with virtually no real growth while domestic demand for oilcake and vegetable oil has increased by approximately 40%. The imports of seed, oil and cake have gradually been increasing to meet the rising domestic demand levels.
  • Which companies crush sunflower seed in South Africa?
  • In South Africa, the main crushers of sunflower seed are Nola Industries, Epic and Epko. Pressing plants with relatively smaller crushing capacity in the country are Sealake Industries, Elangeni Oil & cake Mills and Capital Oil Mills.
  • Can South Africa realise its sunflower potential?
  • The answer is yes, but it will take a multi-pronged approach. The good news is that a pilot study done in 2020 by Syngenta, Sensako (as seed distributor) and CEOCO (sunflower oilseed crusher) has proven that South Africa can realise its sunflower potential.
