Production potential in sunflower cultivation

Abstract

Sunflower oilseed production is a profitable activity for agricultural enterprises. Volgograd region specific natural and climatic conditions for growing oilseeds and a developed material and technical base. The share of oilseeds in the production of crop products is about 20%. Comparable national and world prices for sunflower oilseeds, we will determine the competitiveness of oilseeds, applying the OECD methodology, that in the Volgograd region the equality coefficient is 0.62, which means that agricultural producers sell their products at lower prices than prices than traders in foreign food markets [3,6]. In the open market, the domestic producer will be non-competitive foreign [12]). One of the ways to increase the competitiveness of oilseeds produced in the region will be the rational use of production potential. Economy is studied in modern economic conditions by foreign and domestic agricultural scientists [1, 13]. It was determined that the results of the statistical analysis of the average yield of sunflower according to the data of 23 favourable crops. The model included the following production factors: capital supply, energy efficiency, tractor supply, labour productivity, soil score, which influence their competitiveness. It has been established that the most influential factors of the production factor are the soil and climatic conditions of the region, strategic (y controlled) factor - productivity, depending on the level of technological development of production.

Chemical Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Sunflower Oil: Exploring The Impact of Heat Treatment on Its Composition

“…Its popularity stems from being an annual plant with a short growing and ripening season. Characterized by a single flower and single stalk, sunflower seeds typically take approximately 30 days to ripen before harvesting [4,5]. Sunflower seed oil (SFSO ) has been utilized in the preparation of human food due to its health benefits for the human body [6].…”
