Abstract
Sunflower production in American agriculture has grown steadily over the years. According to 2023 data, total sunflower production in the United States will reach 2.26 billion pounds, making it the largest in the world. This success can be attributed to the availability of vast arable land, favourable climatic conditions and the introduction of advanced agricultural techniques. Sunflowers are also widely used for edible oil and livestock feed, and rising demand is also a factor behind the expansion of production. Furthermore, at a time when sustainable agriculture is becoming increasingly important, sunflowers can be grown at a relatively low cost, and they also contribute to soil improvement and diversification of agricultural land. Thus, sunflower production in the United States continues to grow steadily and has established itself as an important source of revenue in the agricultural sector. .

Sunflower production in the United States has fluctuated over time. Looking at data from 1947 to 2023, production peaked at 7.3 billion pounds in 1979, but has been declining since then. Total US production is currently down to 31% of its peak. There are several possible reasons behind this decline. Technological innovations in agriculture and changes in the economy have altered the demand for sunflower cultivation and increased competition from other crops. Additionally, climate change and natural disasters are also affecting production volumes. On the other hand, as the importance of sustainable agriculture increases, sunflower cultivation has once again been attracting attention in recent years. Because it can be cultivated at low cost and is expected to be used as a raw material for edible oil and biofuel, it is hoped that production volumes will recover and stabilize. .
The maximum is 7.3GLB[1979] of US TOTAL, and the current value is about 31%
All sunflower classes (latest year, worldwide).
Sunflower production in the United States is diverse, with different characteristics found in each state. According to 2023 data, the largest producer was North Dakota, which produced 1.08 billion pounds. This accounts for more than half of the total, indicating that the state is a major producer of sunflowers. Meanwhile, the average state produced 275 million pounds, a stark difference from North Dakota. This may be due to different climatic conditions and agricultural policies in different states. The overall total production was 2.2 billion pounds, which represents the sum of each state’s production. Sunflower is widely used for edible oil and livestock feed and plays an important role in the economies of each state. As a result, states are working to optimize sunflower production by deploying local production techniques and strategies. .
The maximum is 1.08GLB of NORTH DAKOTA, the average is 275MLB, and the total is 2.2GLB
All sunflower classes (continent).
According to 2023 data, North Dakota leads the U.S. in agricultural sunflower production, at 1.08 billion pounds. This figure represents an all-time high, suggesting that current values may have peaked. There are many different classes of sunflowers, each with different uses. This diversity is adapted to local climate, soil conditions and the needs of farmers. Sunflowers are also in demand not only for their edible oil and livestock feed, but also for the floriculture industry and as a raw material for biofuels. Therefore, each state is devising production strategies and cultivating classes according to demand. Advances in research and technology have led to improved yields, disease resistance and increased productivity. Furthermore, as the importance of sustainable agriculture increases, attention is also being paid to environmental considerations in sunflower cultivation methods and production processes. American sunflower production has experienced steady growth by adapting flexibly to changes in demand and technological innovation. .
The maximum is 1.08GLB of NORTH DAKOTA, the average is 275MLB, and the total is 2.2GLB
