FAQ
Is Demetra Trading a reliable Russian sunflower oil exporter?
Demetra Trading sources crude sunflower oil directly from Black Sea crushing plants and ships through established FOB tank terminals. Every cargo is covered by a Certificate of Analysis and SGS, Bureau Veritas or equivalent independent survey at loading — giving refineries and biodiesel buyers documented FFA, phosphorus and tocopherol values.
What FFA level can you commit to contractually?
Standard contracts reference 0.8–1.5% FFA (as oleic). Tighter lots under approximately 1.0% FFA appear seasonally and are priced accordingly. The binding value is fixed in the Certificate of Analysis at load.
What is the minimum order for Russian crude sunflower oil?
Trial shipments typically start from 220 MT (10 flexitanks of 24,000 L / ~22 MT each). Regular industrial contracts usually begin at 1,000 MT. Bulk carrier stems scale up to 25,000 MT subject to berth availability and cargo heating.
Do you offer degummed crude sunflower oil?
Yes. Water-degummed or acid-refined pathways are available on request, including phosphorus targets down to approximately 10 ppm when the plant run supports it. Specification and target phosphorus are confirmed in the contract.
