Alexis, am from ghana but am not a farmer and i have not really heard of any sunflower farm down here. maybe you can contact the ministry of agriculture and find out. it would be also help if you could come down to ghana (that is if you have the time) then you can get a land and start growing. I would love to be part of your idea though. My contact phoresstt@hotmail.com. hope to get a mail from you.
