Sunflower Meal

Ballıpınar Agriculture – Sunflower Meal Production and Its Importance in the Feed Industry

Sunflower meal is the byproduct obtained after oil is extracted from sunflower seeds and the remaining residue is ground into a nutritious pulp. As a highly valuable raw material in agriculture and livestock farming, sunflower meal is indispensable for beef fattening, dairy farming, and poultry production thanks to its high protein and energy content.

At Ballıpınar Agriculture, we process sunflower meal in our modern facilities and deliver it to both domestic producers and the international market with the highest quality standards.
