Domestic Sunflower Seed Exports Show Strong Growth Momentum

In the global agricultural product trade market, China's sunflower seed export sector has achieved remarkable results, especially the exports of sunflower seed varieties 361, 363 and sunflower seed kernels, which maintain a strong development momentum.

This year, China's sunflower seed exports have delivered outstanding performance. Take Bayannur City as an example – as the largest edible sunflower production base in China, it ranks among the top in sunflower seed exports. High-quality local varieties such as SH363 and SH361 are not only widely cultivated domestically, but also serve as the main force in exports. In 2024, the export value of sunflower seeds from Bayannur City reached 436 million yuan, with products sold well in more than 100 countries and regions. Entering 2025, this sound development trend has continued. In the first two months of 2025, the export value of dried and fresh fruits and nuts from Inner Mongolia reached 300 million yuan, with a significant year-on-year increase of 53.5%, and sunflower seed exports contributed significantly to this growth. 

Innovations in transportation channels have also added impetus to sunflower seed exports. In the early morning of June 14th, a China-Europe Railway Express train loaded with sunflower seeds departed from Shaliang Logistics Park and headed for the Eurasian market. Sunflower seeds produced in the Hetao Plain of Inner Mongolia can reach Eurasian regions in only 21 days via the China-Europe Railway Express, shortening the transportation time by nearly half compared with the previous period and reducing logistics costs by approximately 10%. 

Overall, the export market for sunflower seeds (361, 363 varieties) and kernels is full of opportunities, driven by new variety advantages and expanded transportation.
