Sunflower seed production by economy, million tonnes, 2024/25.
Sunflower seed production is ranked by economy for 2024/25, using production volume in million tonnes as the comparison frame. The data structure is a 9-row raw leaderboard with no percentage or share denominator. Russia ranks first at 16.9M tonnes, followed by Ukraine at 13.0M tonnes. The graphic uses only raw production volumes, with gap and rank-multiple comparisons for context.

Evidence: Provides 2024/25 preliminary market-year sunflowerseed production values by reported country or region.
No share denominator is applied because this is a raw-value leaderboard. Rows are ranked by raw production volume and the public period is stated in the title and subtitle.
Rows are ranked in descending order by production volume. Source values are converted from tonnes to million tonnes for display where needed, and support metrics use the raw first-to-second gap and the first-to-last-row multiple.
Rows use one USDA FAS WAP table, the same 2024/25 period column and the same production unit. The values are preliminary market-year estimates in the April 2026 WAP snapshot. Values are treated as a dated source snapshot rather than a live feed.
