How to read this table
Comparing rows allows for identifying leaders in oilseed production and assessing Russia's share of the global market. Since various countries are listed, it is possible to see which states increased harvest volumes and which lost ground. The difference between rows is based solely on geographic criteria, making the data homogeneous. Analysis of annual indicators helps identify yield cycles and general industry development trends in different regions of the world over twelve years
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Ukraine (16 392), Russia (16 362), Romania (3 569), China (2 930), Bulgaria (2 141). Gap between highest and lowest — by a factor of 1 673. The top five account for 80.6% of the total across all items — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 7 observation periods in the dataset. There are 175 values in the table out of 175 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

Period and application
The statistics cover the period from 2010 to 2022 and are updated by Rosstat as part of annual yearbooks. The information will be useful to farmers, economists, and oilseed market analysts for studying the global sunflower supply. The data allows for assessing actual production volumes without using subjective judgments, relying solely on official figures. Such data is essential for planning the export and import of agricultural products
