High-oleic sunflower is the only vegetable oil that combines: more than 80% oleic acid, zero trans naturally, smoke point ~230°C, enforceable clean label, and a competitive industrial cost compared to peanut and rapeseed.
Before 2022, Ukraine supplied approximately 46% of the world's sunflowers. Folk Oils has built a concrete response: Sub-Saharan Africa and Moldova, continuity of supply and price negotiation independent of the Black Sea.
