Sunflower seeds are also an important food source in South Africa – the seeds are pressed and crushed for their oil, which is primarily used as cooking oil in many local households. The extraction process of oil from seed results in sunflower meal, or sunflower oilcake, which is a valuable by-product in the feed industry.
Vergezocht Plant Oils are situated in the Bainsvlei district 25 km from Bloemfontein in the Free State province, South Africa. The name Vergezocht originated from the farm Vergezocht where High Oleic Sunflower was planted for the first time in South Africa as collaboration between the owner Mr. P.F Hugo and the seed company PANNAR.

When making sunflower oil the sunflower seeds are cleaned and the hulls are removed. The cleaned seeds (‘meat’) are crushed and further ground up before the meat is heated. The meat is sent to the expeller and crushed into sunflower meal and crude oil. Solvents are used to extract the last oil from the oilseed cake.

- How much sunflower oil is produced in South Africa?
- Annual global production of sunflower oil is about 18 million tons. As it utilises soil nutrients efficiently due to its deep roots, the crop is usually grown in dryland systems. South Africa¡¯s sunflower seed production was 862 000t in 2018, according to the Crop Estimates Committee. Sunflower is produced mostly for its oil.
- Which companies crush sunflower seed in South Africa?
- In South Africa, the main crushers of sunflower seed are Nola Industries, Epic and Epko. Pressing plants with relatively smaller crushing capacity in the country are Sealake Industries, Elangeni Oil & cake Mills and Capital Oil Mills.
- What are the uses of sunflower seeds in South Africa?
- The seeds are used for oil, bird seed and human consumption. Sunflower oil is used in food preparation, for biofuel, cosmetics and skin care products. The meal and cake are used for animal feed. Production is suitable for many South African climatic conditions as the plants are drought tolerant.
- Can South Africa realise its sunflower potential?
- The answer is yes, but it will take a multi-pronged approach. The good news is that a pilot study done in 2020 by Syngenta, Sensako (as seed distributor) and CEOCO (sunflower oilseed crusher) has proven that South Africa can realise its sunflower potential.
