Hi again, friends of #Hive and #Liketu. Last Friday, for work reasons, I travelled from Oviedo to Valladolid. It is a journey of about 3 hours and a half. For the outward journey, I took the motorway that links the two cities and I could see some huge fields of sunflowers in the distance. For this reason, after finishing my day's work, I travelled back to Asturias on the national road. In this way, I was able to stop and contemplate these marvellous sunflower fields in peace and quiet.

On other occasions that I had travelled to Valladolid at this time of the year, I had not seen so many sunflower fields. The answer I was given by a cheerful shop assistant at a petrol station a few kilometres away from these fields was very simple. Due to the war that is going on in Ukraine, the number of fields in Spain that can be cultivated to obtain vegetable oils has increased and with it the number of crops in the community of Castilla y León and more specifically in the province of Valladolid. Once I arrived home, I was able to confirm this information. In Spain, more area has been planted for the purpose of obtaining sunflower seeds, to be precise, 40% more area than in previous years.

Increase in Spanish fields for oilseed production

As can be seen, the plants are still in the early stages of flowering and have no seeds in the centre of the sunflower. However, their beauty, even though they are not fully developed, is captivating.

I hope you like these images and that the harvest finally comes to fruition for the farmers, as it is important that the production of these seeds is good for the world economy and mainly to have a better supply of seeds and oils in poor countries.

Best regards.

Buenos días, amigos de #Hive y #Liketu. El pasado viernes, por motivos laborales, me desplace desde Oviedo a ciudad de Valladolid. Es un viaje de 3 horas y media aproximadamente. Para el viaje de ida, fui por la autovía que une las dos ciudades y pude completar a lo lejos unos inmensos campos de girasoles. Por este motivo, después de terminar mi jornada de trabajo, mi viaje de vuelta a Asturias lo realicé por la carretera nacional. De esta forma, pude tener la posibilidad de detenerme y contemplar con tranquilidad estos maravillosos campos de girasoles.

En otras ocasiones que he viajado a Valladolid en esta época del año, no había visto tantos campos de girasoles. La respuesta que me dio una alegre dependienta de una gasolinera que se encontraba a pocos kilómetros de estos campos fue muy sencilla. Debido a la guerra que está sucediendo en Ucrania, el número de campos que en España se pueden cultivar para la obtención de aceites vegetales ha aumentado y con ello el número de cultivos en la comunidad de Castilla y León y más concretamente en la provincia de Valladolid. Una vez llegué a mi casa, pude confirmar esta información. En España se ha plantado más de superficie con el fin de la obtención de semillas de girasol, en concreto, un 40% más de superficie que en años anteriores.

Incremento de campos españoles para la produción de oleoguminosas

Como se puede observar, las plantas aún están en las primeras etapas de la floración y no tienen semillas en el centro del girasol. Sin embargo, su belleza, aun cuando no se han desarrollado completamente, es cautivadora.

Espero que les gusten estas imágenes y que la cosecha llegue finalmente a buen puerto para los agricultores, ya que es importante que la producción de estas semillas sea buena para la economía mundial y principalmente para tener un mejor abastecimiento de semillas y aceites en países en vías de desarrollo.

Un cordial saludo.
