Sunflower oil crop grown as winter crops for domestic consumption is entering the Mandalay market these days abundantly, according to the Mandalay Pulses Traders.
The winter sunflower oil crop grown across the country are started entering the Market richly. The sunflower crop from Mandalay and Sagaing regions has mostly entered the market. Last year, the sunflower oil crop price fetched K50,000 per bag (each bag containing 27 visses of sunflower crop). But this year, the price has increased to K70,000 per bag.
Previously, the sunflower crop was grown as a mixed crop. These days, sunflower cultivation has been increased year by year. It is also convenient for the local farmers as it is affordable for cultivation costs. Currently, the government urged the growers to cultivate more sunflower crop. This year, more sunflowers are entering the market abundantly. Sunflower oil is a good choice for keeping a healthy heart. The sunflower oil has many benefits that it can prevent health disease, neurological disorders and cancer. “The price of sunflower oil from the domestic market is reasonable. Now, the price of sunflower oil is sold at K6,000-K6,500 per viss in the market. The sunflower meal can also be used as livestock feed. In some regions, the sunflower oil is under production,” said U Soe Win Myint, (Soe Win Myint Brokerage) from Mandalay.
There are two types of sunflower crops such as roasted sunflower and oilseeds. Roasted sunflower crops are grown along the banks of the Ayeyawady river, Taunggyi and Aungban region. The oilseed crops are grown across the country. The local farmer should expand their cultivation because the cultivation cost of the sunflower plantation is reasonable. — Min Htet Aung (Mandalay Sub-Printing House)/GNLM
