Sunflower Seed Price for Planting
Farmers sow hybrid sunflower seed, usually 2–2.5 kg per acre. Hybrid seed prices vary by company and are much higher than the mandi rate for sunflower grain, so buy certified seed of approved hybrids from registered dealers and check germination before sowing.
Why Grow Sunflower?
- High oil content (about 40%) and healthy cooking oil.
- Short crop (about 100–110 days) that fits between wheat and cotton or rice.
- Helps reduce Pakistan’s large edible oil import bill.
- Sunflower meal (khal) is used in livestock and poultry feed.
