Phytosanitary Authority informs wheat exporters about new rules imposed by the # Indonesia Food Safety Authority

Economic operators and wheat exporters are informed about the new phytosanitary requirements for access to the Indonesian market, communicated by the quarantine authority of this country. The measures enter into force as of June 1, 2026, and aim to update the conditions for the certification, processing, and transport of Moldovan wheat. Until this date, all previously established phytosanitary requirements remain applicable, including the mandatory treatment in the country of origin.

The new conditions target the export of wheat (Triticum aestivum) from the Republic of Moldova to the Republic of Indonesia and set out general and specific requirements for phytosanitary certification, processing and transport conditions, as well as measures to prevent phytosanitary risks.

Let's see how you should read this note from Ukrainian sunflower processors. (Short read)

But first, let's reproduce the note:

"Ukrainian oilseed processors are reducing their activity or shifting their processing to rapeseed and soybeans, amid negative margins in sunflower seed processing, says Serhii Repetskyi, representative of Sunstone Brokers.

According to him, under current market conditions, some processing units are recording losses of up to 25 USD/ton when processing sunflower."

Okay, now for the facts and figures::
- Ukraine has a processing capacity exceeding 18-18.5 million tons per year.
- This year, it had a harvest of 10.5 million tons of sunflower seeds. With the mention that due to the drought they lost about 3.5 million tons, so the initial estimate was 14 million tons.
- About 4.8-5 rapeseed and 3.6 soybean.

All in one, the processing capacity, even expanded, had resources.
