Argentine Sunflower Production
AGRO-T.E.C.E.I Consultants, June 2010, Pages: 6
This study describes the Argentine Sunflower Production and dynamics. Its competition against soybeans. Its area, yields and production. Its costs of production and profitability.
Argentina is a major world producer and exporter of sunflowerseed oil and meal. However, since 1998/99, area and production declined significantly due to relatively low prices, shifts to soybeans and weather problems (lack of adequate rainfalls) during the 08/09 and 09/10 seasons.
Soybeans and sunflowerseed are the two most important oilseeds produced in Argentina. Both have demonstrated opposite trends in area and production with soybeans increasing dramatically and sunflowerseed plantings decreasing sharply through 2000. Soybeans have gone from 7 millon hectares in 1997/98 to more than 19 million hectares in 2009/10. During the same period sunflower gone from 2,5 millon to 1,34 millon. Soybeans are cheap and easy to produce in Argentina and, thanks to good prices, the most profitable crop. Much of the decline in sunflowerseed plantings reflected shifts to soybeans. Also, sunflowerseed production has been pushed to more marginal areas, so despite advances in seed technology, average national yields have not improved in recent years.
