Kazakhstan offers unique opportunities for seed companies, with vast areas available for sunflower cultivation. Sunflower accounts for up to 70% of the sown area occupied by oilseeds and 85% of the gross harvest. The importance of sunflower in addressing the country’s food security cannot be overstated, as it provides the population with vegetable oil and livestock farming with high-protein feed. Due to the great economic benefit, the area devoted to sunflower cultivation is constantly growing. Over the past 10 years, it has expanded fivefold, reaching more than 1 million hectares.

Currently, the Kazakhstan market features products from most seed companies. The leading position in the market is held by SU hybrids, which account for more than 65% of the total sunflower acreage.
Kazakhstan has several regions well-suited for sunflower cultivation due to their favorable climate and soil conditions. The best locations for growing sunflowers in Kazakhstan are:
These areas are known for their fertile soil and suitable climate, making them some of the key agricultural regions in the country for sunflower production.
Another northern region that has been successful in cultivating sunflowers, thanks to its agricultural infrastructure and suitable growing conditions. However, it is slightly drier and has a sharply continental climate, characterized by significant temperature variations between seasons.
This region benefits from fertile soils and supporting infrastructure, making it suitable for sunflower cultivation alongside other crops. The varying elevations and diverse geographic features of the region influence the microclimates, potentially offering different growing conditions.
These areas experience drier weather conditions, making them optimal for crop production under irrigation. They are particularly suitable for seed production due to the availability of many isolated areas. The long growing season and extended sunlight hours in the summer provide opportunities to cultivate late-maturing crops.
All in all, Kazakhstan’s favorable climate, fertile soils, and vast agricultural land make it a key hub for sunflower cultivation, offering ideal conditions for both production and seed development.
