According to the latest 2026 industry data, Russia has consolidated its leading position in the global oilseed and vegetable oil market, with a strong export surge in the first two months. In January-February 2026, Russia’s sunflower oil exports reached 622,000 tons (up 26% YoY), with export value rising 51% YoY to 805 million USD. Russia now ranks first globally in sunflower oil (38% export share) and sunflower meal (30% share), while holding 19% of global rapeseed oil exports (second worldwide).

Driven by rising global energy prices, the global vegetable oil market has maintained an upward trend, with the sunflower oil SOEXP index rising 2.3% month-on-month to 1297.5 USD/ton. Meanwhile, Russia’s domestic oilseed prices remain stable with a slight increase, and the significant price advantage over Ukrainian products further strengthens Russia’s trade competitiveness.

For Russian farms and oil processing enterprises, seizing this export dividend relies on improving raw material utilization, oil yield and finished product quality to meet the strict standards of core markets like India and China. This has led to a sharp rise in demand for professional машина для очистки и сортировки зерна, грейдерная машина and supporting grain processing equipment.
