DocumentOther documentUkraine: Review of the Sunflower Oil - Sector Review
Report N. 2 - November 2002
2002Also available in:
No results found.In this report, we present a review of the oilseed production and processing sector in Ukraine. We begin by analysing oilseed, oil and meal supply and demand, and concentrate more specifically on sunflower seed. We then proceed to discuss the main policy issues that currently have an impact in the crushing sector. Throughout this report, it will become apparent that three key issues affect the crushing sector: a severe lack of credit; the 17% export tax, which reduces the domestic price of s eed; and the failure to reimburse value added tax for oil product exporters, which places a considerable burden on crushers. -
DocumentOther documentKazakhstan: Technical Assistance to the Sunflower Seed Sector
Report Series - N. 14 - September 2009
2010Also available in:
No results found.Sunflower oil is by far the major vegetable oil consumed in Kazakhstan. The growing consumer demand has been largely met by imports rather than local production. From 2005 to 2007, the EBRD provided loans totalling USD 26 million to Turkuaz Edible Oil Industries, a subsidiary of Savola Group, to develop its vegetable oils production business in Aktobe. Results illustrated soon that sunflower yields could be increased if farmers used new sunfloweer seed hybrids even under low rainfall conditions. In 2007, FAO and the EBRD, with funding from the Government of Japan, agreed to provide technical assistance to help farmers in the region increase production and processing of sunflower seed using more efficient techniques. To ensure that the best international expertise was provided to local farmers, FAO worked together with Cetiom/Agropol to transfer know-how and provide training. Topics covered included planting, fertilization, weed control and harvesting. Sunflower seed hybrids were provid ed from seed companies in France and Ukraine and partners in Kazakhstan provided locally available and imported hybrids for demonstartion trials. In 2008, demonstration trials were conducted in two locations in the Aktobe region and 30 hybrids from different seeds companies were tested. -
Policy briefPolicy briefWheat export economy in Ukraine
Policy Studies on Rural Transition No. 2012-4
2012Also available in:
No results found.Ukraine is a country with well-developed agricultural traditions, where the aggregate of agro-climatic factors and the high quality of land resources favor the cultivation of cereal crops, in particular, wheat. Wheat is the most popular agricultural crop, with more than half of all Ukrainian agro-businesses being engaged in its production. Wheat accounts for 40% to 50% in the cereal crops production. Despite the quality potential of spring varieties, it is the winter wheat growing that prevails in Ukraine. The share of winter crops in the gross yield has averaged around 95.3% in the past five years. It should be noted that spring crops were virtually not sown in this country until early '90s –only 25,700 tons was gathered in 1990, making less than 0.1% of the total wheat harvest.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -

Book (series)NewsletterGLOBEFISH highlights - International markets for fisheries and aquaculture products
Second issue 2022, with January–December 2021 Statistics
2022Also available in:
No results found.Since 1984, the FAO GLOBEFISH project (through a project unit established within the Fishery and Aquaculture Department of FAO www.fao.org/in-action/globefish) has been providing governments, national and international stakeholders with relevant data, information and knowledge on fish trade in order to assist them in designing and implementing efficient and inclusive market and trade strategies. These strategies contribute to the sustainable development of the fish trade sector (including the economic, social and environmental aspects) and, at the same time, contribute to improving food and nutrition security and strengthening livelihood opportunities and are directly linked to SO4. The publication contains a detailed quarterly update on market trends for a variety of major commodities. Combining the price information collected for the European Price Report with other market survey data collected by FAO GLOBEFISH, the report provides a detailed update on market trends for a variety of major commodities. Key market data is presented in a time series tabular or graphical form with a written analysis of trends and key events and news affecting commodities such as tuna, groundfish, small pelagics, shrimp, salmon, fishmeal and fish oil, cephalopods, bivalves and crustacea.
