MARKET CONTEXT · LINOLEIC SUNFLOWER
Ukraine supplied 46% of the world's sunflowers. Africa is Folk Oils' answer.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict brutally demonstrated the fragility of a 46% dependence on a single geographical area. Prices jumped by 50%, chains were disrupted. Folk Oils anticipated by building a direct African supply chain, same Codex quality, competitive costs, direct maritime logistics.

Direct African Origins Folk Oils

Black Sea risk exposure
The bulk refined sunflower market is driven by convenience traders who mix origins (Ukraine, Russia, Argentina, Türkiye) to optimize their costs. The end buyer does not know precisely where the oil in his IBC comes from. Folk Oils supplies refined oil identified by country of origin and batch, Tanzania, Burkina Faso or Nigeria, with full certificate of analysis. Same analytical quality, but with African traceability that can be communicated to your customers and enforceable against your CSR commitments.
Three direct African origins
Standard linoleic sunflower is dominated by linoleic acid (Ω-6), between 60 and 70% of its composition. Smoke point ~225°C, neutral texture, correct stability for short-term cooking and blending. The reference volume oil in the global food industry, Folk Oils supplies it from Africa.
