In this paper are presented the main trends manifested in the world with reference to the production and marketing of sunflower seeds, during 2012-2016. Worldwide, sunflower culture is an important culture because it has a number of uses, such as: human food; for animal feed; for industry and energy; and other related uses. In this study we have presented and analyzed a series of indicators related to the production and marketing of sunflower seeds worldwide. Among the studied indicators were noted: areas planted with sunflower worldwide; overall rate of production of sunflower seed; the total amount of fertilizer used for the production of sunflower; average yield per hectare for sunflower seeds; human sunflower consumption; imports and world exports of sunflower seeds. In the future, it is expected both an increase in the area planted with sunflower and an increase in sunflower seed production. The main statistical data that was used in the paper was taken from specialized international sites.
