In addition to the type of packaging (bag, carton, bucket, canister, etc.), offers are specified with delivery units, the scope of which is defined by the seller.
Product and Packaging
Both the minimum purchase quantity and the availability are displayed in delivery units and are also defined by the seller.
Delivery units
A delivery unit can be, for example, an outer carton with 8 canisters suitable for postal dispatch or a Euro pallet with 25 bags.
Delivery
If the seller specifies a minimum purchase quantity of 4 delivery units, this corresponds in the example of the canisters to four cartons of 8 canisters each. In the case of palletised bags, this would be four pallets of 25 bags each.
SOFIA. Sowing is about to start in Bulgaria. While rumour has it that growers may switch to other products this year, the first reference prices have already been issued for the new sunflower seed crop.

Shipments to Russia are gaining momentum. With Ramadan about to start on 12 April the market has experienced a surprising twist.
AYDIN. The low rainfall in the growing regions could have a negative impact on the crop that will be harvested in late summer. The next two months will prove to be decisive here.
MADRID/SACRAMENTO. Recently issued export data shows that as much as 65% of all almond exports from Spain were destined to three major EU member states in 2020/2021. Prices have, meanwhile, declined further for organic almonds.
