Sunflower Meal
Sunflower meal is a protein feed ingredient obtained after oil extraction from sunflower seeds. It is widely used in compound feed and livestock nutrition, with its commercial value determined principally by protein, fibre, moisture, residual oil and processing method.
The product may be supplied as standard sunflower meal, partially or fully dehulled meal, or in pellet form. Dehulling generally increases protein concentration and reduces fibre, which is why buyers commonly specify the required protein and fibre levels when requesting an offer.
Terraviis coordinates supply through approved origin partners. The applicable producer, origin, loading point, product type and final technical specification are confirmed in the commercial offer before contracting.

Sunflower Meal Frequently Asked Questions
What protein levels are available?
Protein depends mainly on processing and degree of dehulling. Standard meal is generally lower in protein, while dehulled grades may reach approximately 35–39%. Final values are confirmed with the product specification.
What is the difference between standard and dehulled sunflower meal?
Dehulled sunflower meal contains less hull material, resulting in higher protein and lower fibre compared with standard grades.
Is sunflower meal available in pellets?
Yes. Pellet form may be available depending on producer, origin and required specification.
What is sunflower meal used for?
It is commonly used as a protein ingredient in compound feed for poultry, livestock and dairy applications.
Which specifications should I provide for a quotation?
Ideally: crude protein, fibre requirement if applicable, physical form, quantity, destination and preferred Incoterm.
Which origins are available?
Supply may be available from Kazakhstan, Ukraine and selected European origins, depending on specification and destination.
Can independent inspection be arranged?
Yes. Independent quality and quantity inspection can be coordinated where required.
Can a Certificate of Analysis be provided?
Applicable product analysis and COA documentation are confirmed as part of the commercial transaction.
What information is required to receive a price?
Required grade or protein level, quantity, destination, Incoterm and preferred loading format.
