Overview
Sunflower oil supply with Zoony
Sunflower oil is one of the world's most widely used cooking oils. It is light in colour and taste, rich in vitamin E and stable enough for frying, food manufacturing and retail shelves. Most of the world's supply comes from the Black Sea region, where sunflower seed is grown, crushed and exported in very large volumes.
Türkiye is one of the region's leading sunflower oil refiners and exporters. Turkish refineries buy seed and crude oil from neighbouring producers, refine and pack it, and ship it to buyers across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe. That makes Istanbul a natural base for buying sunflower oil, from bulk crude cargoes to bottles ready for the shelf.
Zoony supplies sunflower oil from Turkish refineries and directly from other producing countries. The buyer states the product, packing and destination market. Zoony qualifies the producers, arranges samples and laboratory analysis, and coordinates the shipment and the documents the destination requires.

How a transaction runs
02
Qualify the refinery and origin
The producing refinery, its food-safety certificates, packing capacity and the origin of the seed or crude oil are reviewed, and samples are analysed against the specification.
03
Contract, inspect, ship
Terms are fixed in the sales contract. Pre-shipment sampling and laboratory analysis confirm the quality, then the oil is loaded and the document set is prepared for the destination.
Shipping & delivery
Shipping and delivery
The packing decides how the oil travels. We match it to the order size, the destination port and how the buyer will receive the goods.
Bulk vessels
Large volumes of crude or refined oil in coated tankers, loaded at Black Sea and Mediterranean ports.
Flexitanks & ISO tanks
Roughly 20 tonnes per 20-foot container, a practical option for mid-sized orders and inland destinations.

Bottles, jerrycans or tins, palletised or floor-loaded in 20- or 40-foot containers.
Road delivery
Packed oil can travel by road from Türkiye to neighbouring markets in Europe, the Caucasus and the Middle East.

Frequently asked questions
Can you supply sunflower oil under our own brand?
Yes, where the refinery supports it. Private-label orders need the artwork, label language, bottle sizes and destination labelling rules from the start.
What is the minimum order?
It depends on the packing. Packed oil is usually quoted per container load, flexitank orders per 20-foot container and bulk oil per vessel parcel. Tell us your volume and we will say what is practical.
Where does the oil come from?
From Turkish refineries and from other producing countries around the Black Sea and beyond. The origin is fixed in the contract and shown on the certificate of origin.
How is the quality checked?
Samples are analysed by an independent laboratory before shipment against the agreed specification, typically free fatty acids, peroxide value, moisture and impurities, and colour.
