Sunflowers

A three year high of plantings and production has done nothing to put growers off planting with the parts of Ukraine this year literally wall to wall sunflowers.
 
The price has taken a bit of a tumble in recent weeks with the domestic market dropping 20 to 30%.


Is this a long term trend as a result of oversupply or a temporary blip as crushers are now at capacity?
