Sunflower Cake Supplier – Kazakhstan Origin (Bulk & Bags)

What Is Sunflower Cake—and When Should You Choose It?

Sunflower cake is the solid co product after mechanical pressing (expeller) of sunflower seeds. Compared with solvent extracted sunflower meal, cake typically carries more residual oil (energy) and slightly lower protein, making it a smart fit when you want extra energy density and good palatability at a competitive landed cost.

• Best for: Dairy and beef rations needing energy from natural oil; small ruminant feeds; limited poultry inclusion by buyer’s formula.

• Why Kazakhstan: Strong oilseed base, growing processing capacity, and multiple export corridors that keep transit options open.

Grades & Indicative Specs (final specs set in SPA; independent inspection by agreement)

Standard Sunflower Cake (full hull or partly decorticated)

• Crude Protein (CP): ~30–38%

• Oil (fat): ~2–3%

• Crude Fiber: ~8–11% (hull content drives fiber)

• Moisture: ≤10–12%

• Ash: ~6–7%

Decorticated / Higher Protein Cake (by negotiation)

• Crude Protein (CP): 36–40%

• Oil (fat): ~1–2%

• Crude Fiber: lower than full hull material

Note: “Sunflower cake” = expeller pressed. If you need higher protein/lower oil, see our Sunflower Meal (36–38% CP).

Forms, Packaging & Incoterms

• Forms: Pellets (easier handling, lower dust) or crumbled/meal like cake

• Packaging: 50 kg PP bags (standard), 1 MT jumbo bags, or container bulk with liners

• Incoterms: EXW, FOB, CFR/CIF, CPT/DAP by agreement

• Ports served: Jebel Ali (UAE), Sohar (Oman), Dammam/Jubail (KSA), Karachi (Pakistan), Nhava Sheva/Mundra (India), Chittagong (Bangladesh), Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)

Logistics from Kazakhstan (Reliable Corridors)

• Caspian / TITR (Middle Corridor): Rail to Aktau/Kuryk → sea to Baku → onwards to Poti/Batumi/Mersin.

• Caspian to Iran / Gulf: Aktau/Kuryk ↔ Amirabad/Anzali, then Bandar Abbas for GCC lanes.

• China Gateways: Dostyk / Altynkol / Khorgos for containerized flows to Asian ports.

• Regional Rail: Saryagash into Central Asia and Afghanistan corridors.

We compare schedules and congestion and can stagger containers to keep inventory moving smoothly.

Documentation & Compliance (No Surprises at Customs)

• Commercial Invoice, Packing List

• Bill of Lading / rail waybill (as relevant)

• Certificate of Origin

• Phytosanitary & Fumigation (where required)

• Third party Quality & Weight Certificates (SGS/BV) if contracted

• Non GMO declaration available on request

• HS code often used: 2306.30 – oil cake/meal of sunflower seeds (confirm with your broker)

MOQs, Lead Times & Payment Terms

• MOQs: Containers from 200–500 MT total; bulk vessel programs usually ≥5,000 MT

• Lead time: Typically 2–5 weeks from SPA/KYC to first container (subject to inspection, space, and documents)

• Payment (subject to KYC): LC at sight, SBLC/DLC, or T/T (e.g., advance + CAD against originals)

Price Drivers (and How We Help You Hit Target Landed Cost)

• Oilseed crush and by product availability in origin

• Freight markets (container & bunker costs)

• Corridors and feeder schedules (Caspian/TITR vs. alternatives)

• Currency (KZT/USD and destination FX)

• Destination policies (duties, SPS rules)

Our approach:

• Offer decorticated or full hull options to balance protein, fiber, and price.

• Stagger shipments across a pricing window to reduce timing risk.

• Route alternates when congestion or surcharges spike.

• Keep document pre checks tight to avoid costly corrections.

Typical Use Cases & Formulation Notes

• Dairy: Use high fat cake to lift energy; protein/fiber tuned by grade.

• Beef/Feedlots: Palatable energy source; pairs well with barley or corn.

• Sheep/Goats: Useful where moderate protein and digestible fiber are desired.

• Poultry: Buyer defined low inclusion rates; many prefer sunflower meal for higher protein.

Always follow your nutritionist’s guidance and local regulations.

FAQ

Is it non‑GMO?

Yes—non‑GMO declarations are available on request to match destination wording.

What shelf life should I expect?

Typically several months in dry, ventilated storage; keep bags off the floor and away from moisture.

Pellets or crumbled—what should I choose?

Pellets reduce dust and speed handling; crumbled can be preferred for certain mill setups.

Can you blend cake and meal?

Yes—buyers sometimes blend sunflower cake (energy) with sunflower meal (higher protein) to hit formula goals.

Do you supply lab certificates?

If contracted, independent SGS/BV inspection can certify quality and weight; COA copies are provided.
