Export volume of sunflower seeds in South Africa 2000-2021

In 2020/2021, the export volume of sunflower seeds in South Africa was 550 metric tons, a decrease of roughly 3.5 percent from 2019/2020. Between 2000 and 2021, two years are observed to have significantly larger export volumes; 2002/2003 and 2008/2009. It is unclear why these peaks are present in the data. However, note that in 2008 Europe was the largest importer of sunflower seed in South Africa with up to approximately 60 thousand of the total 79.4 thousand that were exported.

在2020/2021年间，南非向日葵籽的出口量约为550公吨，较2019/2020年度下降了约3.5%。自2000年至2021年期间，观察到两年出口量显著增加，分别为2002/2003年度和2008/2009年度。然而，数据中这些峰值出现的原因尚不明确。值得注意的是，在2008年，欧洲成为南非向日葵籽的最大进口国，进口量约为79.4千吨出口总量中的60千吨。
