Global production of sunflower oil reaches approximately 19 million metric tons per year, which translates to around 5 billion gallons annually.

This oil is primarily extracted from sunflower seeds through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, and it's widely used in cooking, food processing, and increasingly in industrial applications like biofuels and cosmetics.

Major producers include Ukraine, Russia, and the European Union, with Ukraine historically accounting for a significant portion of the global supply.

Despite fluctuations in output due to geopolitical and agricultural factors, sunflower oil remains one of the most consumed seed oils worldwide.
