MHP slashed sunflower oil sales, boosted soybean in 12M 2021

MHP SE, a parent company of the agro-industrial group in Ukraine, founded and chaired by Yuri Kosyuk, reported 37% lower YoY sunflower oil sales in 12M 2021. The supply of the product stood at 207,240 t (12M 2020: 330,823 t). As explained by the company, the drop was mainly driven by a decrease in the production of oil because of decreased share of sunflower cake in fodder (change in recipe).

MHP's soybean oil sales in 12M 2021 boosted by 11% YoY to 45,209 t (12M 2020: 40,904 t). The increase in sales of soybean oil in 12M 2021 is a result of soya cake share increase in fodder recipe and partial substitution of sunflower cake in it, which also resulted in decreased sales of soybean cake to third parties, the report reads.
