Why is there sunflower on the stamp?

Dnipro’s region is one of Ukraine’s largest producers of sunflower seeds and sunflower oil. The steppe climate and fertile soil make the area ideal for massive sunflower fields, which dominate the summer landscape. Dnipro is a hub for processing sunflower seeds into oil, with factories that supply both the domestic market and export. Generally, Ukraine is the world's leading exporter of sunflower oil, accounting for 47% of global exports, and Dnipro plays a major role in that supply chain. Endless sunflower fields (“golden sea”) around the city have become a symbol of central Ukraine’s beauty and abundance.
