Russian Sunflower Meal 28–36% Protein Supplier

Demetra Trading is a Russian sunflower meal supplier offering bulk meal from Black Sea crushers for compound feed producers, integrators and trading houses. Standard grades near 28–30% crude protein with higher fibre suit ruminant matrices, while dehulled profiles approaching 34–36% protein compete on a cost-per-unit-protein basis for poultry, swine and aqua inclusion.

Feed applications and quality parameters

Compound feed mills use sunflower meal as a vegetable protein and fibre source in dairy, beef, poultry and swine rations. Typical export parameters: crude protein 28–36% (dry basis), moisture max 12%, crude fibre 14–22% depending on hull content, residual oil ≤1.5% for solvent-extracted meal. Batches are toasted for batch-to-batch stability and released under agreed moisture so salmonella risk and critical chemistry stay within the bands your matrix assumes. Related protein meals in our catalog include soybean meal and rapeseed meal; crush co-product context is covered in Russian sunflower oil exports.

Destination markets and import demand

Russian sunflower meal moves to feed mills and traders in Turkey, Spain, Italy, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany — markets that combine Black Sea FOB pricing with coaster and Handysize discharge economics. Middle Eastern and North African buyers (Iran, Iraq, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt) source for ruminant and poultry programs where fibre and protein balance matter. Logistics detail for Black Sea stems is in our Black Sea grain logistics guide.

Documentation and survey at load

Each cargo is documented with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and independent survey by SGS or an equivalent surveyor at the load port. The loading COA is the commercial reference for protein, fibre, fat and moisture unless the contract states otherwise. Heavy metals and salmonella panels can be added when the destination requires. Weight and quality are fixed at load; phytosanitary inspection confirms compliance with the importing country's plant-health rules before vessel departure.
