According to CoinMeta, on Friday, two large sunflower oil producers in Ukraine suspended the operation of their factories due to intensified Russian attacks and power supply issues. One of Ukraine's largest sunflower oil refineries, Potoky, stated that it had halted the procurement and processing of sunflower seeds due to power outages and the severe security situation. Another agricultural giant, Nukleus Group (Kernel), also stopped the operation of all its oilseed pressing plants after its facilities were attacked by Russia. According to data from the Ukrainian agricultural consulting agency APK-Inform, Ukraine is a major producer and exporter of sunflower oil, with plans to refine 4.4 million tons of sunflower oil and export 4 million tons in the 2025/26 season.
