According to the forecast of the Oil and Fat Union, in December the export duty on sunflower oil may increase to approximately 8 thousand rubles/t, and in January it may reach approximately 15 thousand rubles/t. In November the rate is 2.9 thousand rubles/t after it was at zero for 17 months. Against this background, as well as due to more optimistic forecasts for the final harvest of oilseeds, prices for oilseeds will stabilize in the near future, the union said in a statement. “Since the beginning of the season, there has been an increase in global prices for sunflower oil, which, against the background of expectations of a significant reduction in the harvest both in Russia and in other producing countries, has led to a significant increase in the price of sunflower, the cost of which makes up about 90% of the cost of oil production,” the statement quotes Mikhail Maltsev, executive director of the union, as saying. “This inevitably led to an adjustment in selling prices on the domestic market. However, domestic prices are protected from a sharp increase in world prices by exports.

In the near future, prices for oilseed raw materials in Russia should stop growing due to positive forecasts for the harvest and an increase in the export duty on sunflower oil. This forecast was voiced by the executive director of the Oil and Fat Union of Russia and member of the ROSNG Expert Council, Mikhail Maltsev. According to him, during the harvesting of oilseeds, it became clear that the estimates of the shortfall in their harvest were greatly overstated. In particular, we are talking about losses in the southern regions. However, according to Maltsev, these volumes can be offset by record figures in the Altai Territory and the Volga region. A record harvest of rapeseed and soybeans will also help save the situation, taking into account which the total gross harvest may exceed 29 million tons. Let us recall that this is the level of last year, and also higher than previously predicted. Maltsev explained that most of the processing capacities are "multiseed". This means that the same oil mill can engage in parallel processing of several oilseeds at once. This

The export duty on sunflower oil and the increase in oilseed harvest forecasts in Russia will stabilize prices on the domestic market. Mikhail Maltsev, executive director of the Oil and Fat Union of Russia, told journalists about this.
