Crude sunflower oil formed the major share of the exports – 243.2 thsd tonnes, or 96% of the general volumes exported in May 2015 (-18% for the month; -51% yoy). However, the segment of refined sunflower oil showed the negative dynamics in comparison with April 2015 only (-24%; +14%, respectively), according to APK Inform.
