According to data from the previous fiscal year, India imports a significant quantity of sunflower oil from Ukraine. It accounts for almost 70% of all the sunflower oil imported into India.  

According to Russia Trade Data Apart from Ukraine, which exports 70% of its oil, India also imports Russian soya bean oil, which accounts for 20% of all the sunflower oil that India imports. 

We will provide you with detailed information on Russia, which is the largest supplier of sunflower oil to India, in this blog. 

We are all aware that this year, Russia attacked Ukraine, and as a result of this invasion, all import and export activities from Ukraine were entirely halted, which increased the price of sunflower oil on the international market. 

Moreover, because Russian contacts with European nations were severed as a result of the invasion, and European nations ceased importing Russian goods and services, which had a negative impact on the Russian export market and drove down the price of Russian goods on the international market. 

For this reason, rather than continuing to ship sunflower oil to countries in Europe, they began selling it to Asia. India's import-export records show that China and India currently import one million barrels of Russian sunflower oil per day.

In terms of sunflower oil exports, Asia is currently Russia's top trading partner. India is meeting demand by importing a lot of Russian sunflower oil.
